HoSS Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yeah i'm confident with Autocad for the 2D hoops for the rear (see pic at top, mine will be similar) but the front cage requires 3D bends and getting that information down could be tricky no?

Cynic-al Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 You still only need to draw straight lines, if you do a couple of different elevations you can show that the tube needs to go in by 100mm on a front elevation and back by 100mm on a side elevation etc. They can work out angles etc from that. Just point the important points down like where it needs to fix to a chassis or where it needs to kink out to miss bodywork etc, exactly what happens inbetween doesn't need to be mm perfect so you can leave them to work out radius and stretch etc based on their equipment. Either than or have a look at some of the free packages such as google sketchup or on shape to do a solid model, they might have software that can interpret that? Or take a photo of your car, draw lines over it in paint where you want the cage then give them that and the vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
