4.5 feet of tubing at .095 weighs 5.46 pounds I doubt that the strap bars and slugs weigh 2 pounds.
exactly!!i'd rather see hard data that says it actually works before putting it in my car..
Lol!!In case you haven't noticed your strapping yourself in to a folding chair .
F.T.W.= Folds This Way!
triangulation......think this might have been mentioned earlier.....without the third leg this thing is not going to provide much strength in regards to a harness mount.....but hey, I am a know nothing nay sayer so......well i don't want to rain on your parrad but for your safety i would not trust those bars in any kind of crash. one all the hemi joints should be double sheer, this means that there is a tab on both sides of the hemi joint. two, what ever you are guessing the wall thickness is on those tubes is no were near what it needs to be it should be at least .1875 or 3/16 wall and dom, no seams in the tubing, or chrome moly. and three with a cage not roll bar every thing is triangulated so that every does not collaspe in on its self. I am not telling you this to put you down but to help you yes it looks really cool but i would be more affraid that you might get hurt in a simple fender bender. alot of the people on here are giving you these anwsers so that if you do get in to some kind of crash you don't get hurt. but we may say in a way that offends you then well i am sorry but i do not wish a fellow A-Body owner get hurt over something that is more for decoration the for safety
Sorry I have gotten long winded and my spelling sucks but every one is looking out for you. Rob
hey, I am a know nothing nay sayer so......
Never seen anyone so happy to learn his tube is insufficient and undersized...
For those reading this thread in the future, it should be noted that mowrycuda68 has changed his avatar to a folding chair.
Good sporting!
oh btw Steve (4spd), I am playing hooky and working on my car tomorrow, since my car is all apart I will see if the 67 fb has a provision for a shoulder strap.
I do admire your sense of humor. You have taken a beating here over this thing(please keep in mind that because it's a safety thing we are probably more vocal than if it were something else because we care) but you roll with the punches pretty good I must say! 2 thumbs up for keeping a sense of humor about it & not taking it personal!! :thumbrig::thumrigh:Folding chair FTW!!!!
