safety cage on street car
Posted: Mon May 24, 2021 7:49 pm
I was speaking with a local shop that services quite a few lotus and they told me that they installed a safety cage on a S3 elan, it consisted of a roll bar and seamless tubing the was concealed in the sills and then across the passenger compartment.
They claim it is installed without removing body from chassis and that other than roll bar it's invisible and that top fits as well. I didn't see the finished product but they told they had copied the idea from a spyder chassis option?
Has anyone ever heard of this, seen it done ? I wonder about adding any weight to a lotus , given the relatively flimsy nature of an elan how can this even work ?
Will post pictures when i see it in the flesh
