Building the roll cage

It still makes my spine tingle when I think about these sprites being driven in competition to maximum capacity without any sort of cage for protection, but for us its going to have to be a must if we are going to partake in competition racing.

The attached pictures show the strengthen bars used to support the aluminum shell of both an early Lemans and Sebring sprite (770KNX No.53 1964 Lemans and No.62 1965 Sebring) and one of the Lemans Streamliner's (ENX416C No.48 1965 Lemans)  these and other early photographs have been paramount in helping us and 'Archers Garage'  decide the vital positioning and support points for the cage and to try our best to be as sympathetic as possible in replicating the original.


We are still in the early stages of building the cage but Archers have completely removed the Aluminum shell in preparation for building and installing the cage ( We hope to post photos of this soon) as well as adequately protecting the points where the aluminum and steel meet incase of any possible corrosion caused by this clash.
