I am a believer in building a car to what you intend to use it. 50% or deaths in crashes happen below 35 mph just saw that on the net today and the net does not lie, lol.
Not joking. I worked with Swedish Steel to use their materials in automotive and farm equipment designs to make stronger and lighter.
I am working with Swedish Steel to see if they are willing to make inch sizes in tubing or just metric. The current SCCA rules call for roll bars to be 1.5" .120" thickness tube for roll bars on cars over 1,500 lbs. or 1.75" .095" wall.
I am working with as mfg of tube benders and they currently do not support the millimeter sizes. The Domex material that Swedish Steel makes is twice the strength of 4140 and 4 times the strength of current sub frame connectors so a big gain is out there.
I am going to make the investment to build my cars using the new materials that are way better. There are no weld issues because the Swedish Steel Domex does not depend on high carbon to gain the strength. There are no weld issues like with 4140.
Give me your thoughts. Would anyone want to buy a cage or sub frame connector way ahead of any made today? I am going to do for my track days car and the Q code vert. Not going to have a car without bars with those capabilities. The track days car will be to the Kar Kraft specs plus some.
