Cerbera chassis/roll over design

[geeeman]

just wondering, as the cerbera is claimed to have integral roll cage, are these tubes just bonded to the fibreglass, and so have no direct attachemnt to the main backbone chassis?

Connected to the chassis at the front but not further back.

The integral cage is bolted to the chassis both at the front and to the rear of the door.



ETA - It is what holds the outriggers on...!

Oops - so it is!

I doubt you will find pictures of the bare cage mounted to the chassis because the cage is fibreglassed into the body and stays with the body when you separate them.

The front hoop forms the A pillar and goes up the front of the doors and across the top of the windscreen and down the other side. The rear hoop attaches behind the doors and goes across the roof of the car behind the drivers head. They are connected by tubes that run above the doors from front to back. Its not the best triangulated design as front to back tubes don't extend and attach to the chassis further back, and there is no other cross bracing.

ETA Found this - you can see the cage where the roof area is burnt away.
