Hey Charlie!

Anyways the tubing size that is on mine doesnt any regular pipe that we could find. I can get you a tubing diameter tomorrow off mine. Maybe DOM might be correct sizing. Its fairly hard to get ahold of where I am located.

dan that be great if you could get me the size i have no way to get in my friends garage

Hey went and measured it...Man is it cold out! 1.50 outside Dia. all the tubing cage front section and all is the same.

[charlie]

THANK U

I don't think its 1.50, but very close. I believe it is a metric size to be exact, but very close to 1.50". I think the wall diameter is close to .065...pretty thin.

hell yeah its pretty thin it dont take a big hammer to dent it at all i m wanting to do some cage mods to mine to a couple cross braces or hell maybe just rebuild the whole damn thing does any one have and good suggestion on the pipe diameter to use and the wall thickness ....

I will get measurements on the size I am using. It is some tube I had laying around for awhile and I don't want to give you a guess. The OD is 1 3/4 and sleeves perfectly over the stock tube. It is somewhere between .95 & .110 wall. I can tell you 1 3/4 .120 won't slide over without grinding. I am going to weld it at the tube connectors then rosett weld it a few times down the length of the tube.

i need to completely weld ... or just rebuild my cage i m happy with the power and performance but the structure of the cage is sad i want it to be rock solid..... granted the roll over angle is amazing i ve been able to touch the ground on more the one occasion but my wife ride s with me some time and i need it to be concrete and solid

has anyone lowered the stock rollcage on the T2 I am 5'10" was thinking lowering it 3-4" and then taking the flip up part off the back mounting the plastic board to the chassis and then welding two tubes from the drivers cage to the back of the T2
