Custom Rollbar Installed in the Talon

[Jay Racing]

We've just finished up the custom rollbar in the Talon. It is a 5-point 4130 chromoly rollbar. The bare minimum for NHRA requirements and the use of chromoly allowed thinner wall, lighter tubing to be used. We also finally got to use out tubing bender and tubing notcher. Please browse through our pictures of this project in our gallery here, Rollbar

A special thanks to Jeff (AKA Sr.), our chief fabricator out here, for laying some dimes (he's been money in the bank on this project!).

I like how you're welding on a can of racing fuel with the words Flammable emblazoned on the side.

How are you guys attaching that brace to that seat? I've got the Corbeau Forza which is a tubular seat and can't figure out a good way to do it without slicing up the material.

Is this something you just did for your car or are you looking to reproduce cages?

Also wondering since i only live about an hour from your shop, (Im the one that e-mailed you about welding the bov for me)

Why even put the rear seat in? its just added weight as no one can fit back there.

That Sparco seat looks comphy (sic) whats the model on that one?

2nd that.

The rear seat makes things look better, and weighs little. No back seat = race car. Back seat = street car. Until it makes a pass, then it's a fast street car!

Cage looking good

These are Sparco Fighter seats that are fiberglass, so we just put a button head bolt through them with a large washer and a nut on the back. Beneath the fabric and padding, you cannot tell they ar there. IT did stiffen up the mounting a lot.

We could fairly easily, since I've documented the bend locations and angles. Shoot me an email.

This why I chose to keep them in. The bottom and backs were 20 pounds total.

Also, this is the camera mount here.
