Bill,

Yeah right, sorry. My rules say I only need one cross in EITHER the rear legs or the main hoop. So I decided to go for the ones in the main hoop.

It's quite common for the crossed diagonals to be both in the main hoop and the rear legs (in fact most WRC cars have that)...but I just went for the one diagonal in the rear legs. I figure in a roll-over, the main hoop is where my head is at...the rest is more dead weight.

Roll cage design is a funny thing. I went in there with a bunch of things that I thought I wanted, but after looking at a few things, we agreed this is a good balance of cost vs safety.

I also didn't want to have one of those cages where tubes go everywhere, like spaghetti...the old girl is heavy enough without them!!
