How to make a roll cage in the car

Safety cage - this is the main force of the rally car is designed to increase the safety of passengers and a driver in the cabin. Even the body plays a lesser role. Frame for each car is different. Usually it consists of a set of structures and pipes. Pipes are fastened together by welding and are attached at specific locations on the body of the car. Typically, the frame attached to the machine without disassembly. Frames vary in complexity of design and construction itself. By design they are distinguished by disposable and removable. Collapsible frames stiffness - is when the cell is attached to the door and the floor. And do not collapsible (welded) are usually complex in design, are associated with the power of the body. These frames are used only for the individual tuning. Just skeletons are subdivided for two or four door cars. When installed on a four-door five-seater car of this security framework, it becomes a double room as space for passenger seats behind the driver is given to a wreath frame. Material under the frame often is aluminum, the size of pipe which is 45h2, 5; 40h2, 0 cm tubes, usually painted in bright colors. Before you begin the manufacture of the frame, you have to decide on what car you put, and what frame you choose. The most convenient models are: VW Golf, VAZ 21083, Honda Civic, Mitsubishi Colt, etc. Many do not know how to make a roll cage in the car, so it was really solid and reliable. For a start it is desirable to make the layout of the body, such as clay. This will help to properly align the vehicle. There are several ways of making the layout body. It is best to make life-size model from clay or plaster, which would clearly see all aspects of installation of the framework. Having made the layout of the body at full size, should be on their drawings to develop a model skeleton. Now you need to make a life-size skeleton in a real machine. Accordingly, to endure sizes. If you are making the layout of wood or plywood, the frame can immediately be made of metal pipes in full size. Complex curved parts need to be made of several components. For a frame is desirable to use tubes with thick walls. The best suitable material is aluminum. In this case, instead of welding, pipe flattened and fixed by bolts and rivets. You can also connect the pipes using the steel rod on which to wear them and then steal bolts. Skeleton is not necessary to repeat the outlines of the body. Great opportunities for the design gives the pipe is not circular. There are also joint application materials. With the creation of a body to determine how many doors will be and how they will be opened. For convenience, some models of car can make a door that will open up. The frame can be divided into the spacer. The front struts - is one of the most common types of body building. Advantages of this type of spacers are simplicity, low cost, and increase the rigidity of the car in front of him. Purpose of these spacers - reducing the strain cups body when you turn the car. If the design of these struts is balanced, more just, the output is not noticeable. Not recommended to install these spacers on VAZ. Usually a simple brace only works in compression, but when you add an additional element - the headscarf, but you can get to work and torsion. Scarves increase places the wheel arches, pillars and suspension reinforcements. Just to additional elements may include struts and rods. Rod - a separate movable fixture that connects the car's engine and strut. She intended to reduce the movement of the engine at any sudden movements. Rod works at sharp turns and starts. The lower brace is designed to reduce the lever arm front suspension, reducing stress and taking away some of the burden on himself. The result is improved handling, stability on the road, increase the life of the body. Install the lower strut - it is a laborious process. The back brace is designed to reduce movement of the rear cup mount and increases the rigidity of the body. But this type of brace is effective if it is attached to the rear of the vehicle. Brace rather easily installed and dismantled. The downside is that the brace takes up space. If the car is already installed lateral suspension, it would be better not to install the rear or front struts. Just beyond the spacers, to increase the stiffness can increase the weld seams, to strengthen the dynamics, supply stabilizers and widths. Increase the welds needed to strengthen the body, as when welding the body remain regular intervals. Increased weld will increase body stiffness, but it is often very difficult to do because there are no special tools and welding equipment used by the line. If even increase the welds, you should seek the help of very skilled professionals. The same can be welded to the weakest parts of the body additional elements to increase rigidity. Stabilizers and cross-present in the rack and also affect handling. Options for improvement are not many. Replacement or reinforcement. The downside is the appearance of noise and sensitivity. Plus - the stiffness and improved handling. Subframes are somewhat similar to the stabilizers and widths, but the difference in scale installation. You can change the geometry to increase the track, resulting in increased manageability and become sustainable. Thus, we considered how to make the safety cage in the car. If you prefer, you can set the frame stiffness of the car, but it does require some expenses and complete mess of his car.
