Some expensive machines are end mills and abrasive belts.Įven though nodes are the strongest point, too many nodes are not allowed at one point (3-5 tubes). End mills and lathe are most common notcher machine. Harbor freight pipe benderĪ proper fitting and tight notch are extremely important for strong weld joint. HF “kinker” is infamous for terrible bend on tubing. Do not use pipe bender to bend the tubes because the dies do not fit correctly. You don’t have to worry about heat stress to the tube.īent should be done accurately according to analysis else it will result into negative effect. Some of the tubes are AISI 1018, AISI 1020, AISI 1022, AISI 4130įor fire wall and other roll cage member, bent steel tubing is better than welded lengths of tubing. Diagonals work best if it is connected to major load points ie spring suspension mount.Īdd additional cross members to the chassis. It is seen bent tubes are better than butt welds (which should be avoided), but still not as good as node formation.Īdd diagonals in roll cage if it is already made and is too flexible. In comparison to straight tubes, bent tubes have more chances to get buckled. Please do not hesitate to get in touch and discuss your project with one of our skilled design engineers.In order to avoid from bending which is more worst then compression and tension, tubes should be arranged to form triangles with the major loads applied at the intersection of tubes. Also assisting in developing student engineering skills at universities both in the UK and abroad, on anything from single seat racers, kit cars, track and drag racers to 4x4’s, rally cars, even designing and installing roll over protection for 13 tonne armoured trucks! Race Spec Cages Work with individual customers, the trade, OEM manufacturers. Kits are supplied with all the required parts fully notched and ready for assembly. We fabricate internal and external roll cages and roll over protection that will comply with MSUK. Either made using a customer supplied design, or one of our existing popular products, or a mixture of both using our in house design software. We produce highly accurate kits for customers to install. We only use approved and certified materials to meet MSUK requirements.įrom complete custom design and build, to volume trade orders, our friendly and knowledgeable team will find the best solution for your needs. To complement our in house 3D design software, we use the latest state of the art CNC tube bending machines, fabricating outstanding quality roll cages, quickly and efficiently. We also design, fabricate and install (or supply in kit form), ROPS, body protection, light bars, load carrying frames for all types and makes of vehicle. Race Spec Cages Ltd, have over 10 years experience specialising in fabricating roll cages for use in all types of motorsport to Motorsport UK (MSUK) technical requirements.
