    I don't have the spec, and need to know what the main member material size is for the cage on a 6.0 cert dragster. Is it 1.5 x .065 in moly? What about the helmet bars?

    Thanks,

    Yeah, I've ordered specs from them in the past, and will order the appropriate spec on Monday, but I want to get the tubing ordered Monday as well so It will all come together at about the same time. I hate waitin'! As soon as I get the new cage fabbed up and welded on I can get started putting the car back together. Lots of crap to change to fit me better.

    1.5 x 0.065. However, I prefer to use 0.083 just for Xtra safety

    I appreciate the info. That is what I was looking for. I ordered the spec on Monday, but wont see it for a couple more days.

    Beware.....

    I posted this on Insidefastbrackets.com.

    Friend of mine had to have the cage redone on his 2009 car because of a change to the spec. Focus on the 1" min. Hate to see anyone get dinged at inspection.
