Just an FYI, guys. An SCCA legal roll cage will be attached to the car at six points (rear bars, main hoop behind the front seats and front bars that run down the A pillars to the floor). There are provisions to add two additional bars to the cage, but no bars can pass through the firewall. The bars also cannot attach or connect suspension mounting points. You'll need to get a copy of a GCR for more info on mounting plates and other technical info. As for tubing, you'll need to check on that also, but I can tell you that you are allowed to use either 1.5" or 1.75" diameter tubing, but I don't recall the wall thickness off hand. We are using the 1.5" tubing in one of our ITS S14's (just started the bending today!) and 1.75" in the other. There are advantages to using either.
