looking for a 8 or 10 point cage how much lighter is the chromoly over the mild steel and can anyone give me a vendor that they have used for this before? There are so many prices out there its hard to get the good info, I will be welding it in my self so I am looking for something that is notched and I have no griding to do. Has anyone done this before?

 

Not sure of a vendor, but my buddy has got something similiar, I'll ask him..

 

i would like to know to about the goods?/bads with the mild steel and chromemoly

i have looked at wolfe,team z they have some decent setup with or without tubing notched and what ever u want really

 

Wolfe Craft or Maximum Motorsports

 

ah yes maximum is the other one i am considering decent prices too.

but is the extras money spent on the chromemoly really needed for a street car

 

moly tig weld harder mild steel or dom mig

 

I have read that chromoly is harder to weld. I personallyhave never welded so I cant verify if that is true or not.

 

Moly needs to be tig welded and in theory the joints should be annealed after, otherwise they are more brittle than the surrounding metel. A typical 6 point roll bar is about 20lbs lighter if it is moly. Mild steel is cheaper and can be mig welded with annealing, it is also A LOT cheaper. Most of the pre-bent cage kits will still need some tweeking. Don't exspect them to "slide right in".
