The info is in the rulebook. You really need one when building a car.

 I dont have any good shots of it cause it's always apart on the shop floor. Here's a couple, and a link to the build site.





And here's the link to its build.

Great job guys.

I did notice a couple of things you may want to think about. First, be sure you use anti seize on all those bolts you're using to hold the aluminum plates to the steel tanks. Mixing aluminum and steel leads to some interesting electrolytic action. Secondly, you may want to rethink the sheet metal screws in the bottom access plate. Race cars suffer from vibration which leads to the loosening of screws. Your fellow competitor who ends up with one of those in his expensive lsr tire isn't going to be very happy. Worse yet it might even end up in your own tire. A lot of racing organizations won't even allow the use of sheet metal screws anywhere.

Again, you guys are doing an awesome job. Keep up the great work.

Pete

Thank you guys for the input. The sheetmetal screws will be switched out for rivets. Thanks for the heads up on that one Peter ,we appreciate it. The bolts are stainless, so I dont know if we'll have that problem or not. The anti seize is also a good idea regardless.

If he can see out that window the cage is too loose.   Chaz, take some paint, if you get glare on the windscreen in the late afternoon paint the window...
