Chris Wilson Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have no idea what regulations you have to work to, but I would argue the car already has a form of a hoop in the stock prop safety bar under the rear part of the tunnel, and before the differential casing. If you need a continuous circle you'd probably have to make one unless the Yanks sell something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) It needs to be at the gearbox end Chris, stop it digging in and flipping the car over is the idea, they dont care about the other end. I have one you can copy if you get it back to me within a few weeks, or Lee's fabricator might be able to copy it..

Chris Wilson Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I would say find a scrap (and empty....) CO2 cylinder and bandsaw a few hoops out of one and sell the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will talk to Lee, he may be up for making a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will talk to Lee, he may be up for making a few. cool cheers fella. Edited September 9, 2011 by scoooby slayer (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If you are thinking of going 9" ford diff then speak with Ian or John at websters race engineering, they have a lot of experience building custom rear ends and told me they could do it no problem and keep fully independent setup.

JamieP Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Not an idependant one in a supra but they know how to do it, it will be similar to the boostlogic setup id guess, i dont think you could put a car in safer hands, they have built a huge list of amazing cars.
