Excellent, got quite a few views and responses in less than a day. Most important there's people paying attention. The typical Cobra roll bar is what I was referring to not a cage built to comply with SCCA or NHRA specs. I'll get a few pics of failed tubing. Like the shock mounts I was just looking at if they have no support on thin walled seamed furniture tubing then they could sure use a sleeve to stop collapsing when you tighten the bolts. Even better replace it with some real tube and weld in some sleeves where bolts go. A grade 8 fastener doesn't do a thing passed through a hole in a flimsy tube. As far as the gas cap goes it's a good topic for another thread, use some rollover valve protection in the fill neck. Parts like that are standard fare on race cars and readily available.
