mounting an 8v watercooled VW engine....

The website is: http://www.ronlummusracing.com/html/...musracing.html

They are also sold through Aircooled.net

I haven't really thought it through, but I got the idea from an Aussie who build a V6 in a bug, I think he is also a member here, but I don't remember.
Or like this: http://www.sandextreme.com/Subaru%20conversion.htm

I was thinking along the lines of adding a tube-structure to the 2 bars of the cage that go down to the back of the car. They would go over and under the motor, and then mount them on (for example) the IRS housing.
Like I said, I have not taken any measurements, it's just something that's bouncing around in my head.....there's not much else there

You can get the bars that go from the cage to the frame horns for a liitle extra $$ when you get your RLR cage.

Yes, are you talking about the "option" to add that on, like it has on the aircooled.net site? I see they provide an option for, another 60 bucks, you can get it to continue to the horns....

i don't see ANY info on the RLR site about roll cages, I may just go through aircooled.net. Maybe im not looking hard enough

k, so I called RLR, and ordered a chromoly roll cage with the option to have the 2 extender pieces also included. Should be here in 2 weeks, will post pix when it gets here!

D@mn man, you don't waste any time do you ? :agree: :agree:

I'd be very interested in the pics. How much was the cage, and what is the layout ? Is it a bolt-in cage ?

I looks like a very cool cage and a regular steel one is on my near future. What did they charge you for shipping.
