Made it to Industrial Metal Supply last week to get tubing for the door bars and front shock tower brace. The door bars complete the roll cage and give it added strength and rigidity. They also protect the cars occupants in a side impact.
The front Shock Tower Brace really adds to complete the whole picture in a performance Porsche. It keeps the tops of the shock attachment points in a fixed position. Much better than moving around and changing suspension geometry from bumps in the road.
I love visiting this place, so much beautiful metal.
Back home with some metal tabs.
Using them as a buffer and allowing for attachment points they MIG right in.
Using 2 1/2" x 1" rectangular tubing I cut it to fit tight in between the metal tabs.
Other side. I cut the tube 1mm too long and tapped it in with a small hammer for a tight fit. Nothing is moving here.
Now fully welded and ready for primer.
