Frozen Motorsport Ford Puma Cup Car 01

Awesome cage :grin:

Whee the some points meet the floor, how do they reinforce it? I've heard you can't just weld the tubes straight to the floor as in an impact the tubes can punch straight though. Are they plated?

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Yes they're all plated and everything is double welded.

 

[moondustka]

Ah, cool. So plated on top and underneath? Just want to know in case I decide to do my own

 

[Andrew Hebron]

It's a Custom Cages multipoint, right?

It is indeed

All plates are on the top so internally attached to the floor. Zoom in on the pictures and the mount points and you will see the plating.

Did you have to trim the tubes much??

The puma custom cage i had a few years back needed loads of trimming to fit.

Cage tubes are a perfect fit

Yea, I see - looks nice. Do they give you the plates as part of the kit too?

 

[Luca87]

WOW! good rollcage!
if you can, remove the a/c pump and install a smaller belt! I do that and my puma works so good!

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Yeah Luca, that will come in time, same sketch for one of my other Puma's.

More parts have been purchased for this month, painting of the interior and blemishes on the exterior commencing on Saturday and the build continuing.
90% of components now purchased.

Should be fully completed in 5 weeks time.

[Bentleya]

I've just seen some photos of the exhaust manifolds being used on the cup cars, the design looks very interesting.

Do you have an ETA for when you expect the car back from EMC?
