3d cage drawing required
hmm this could be a problem, I can't mind how to do that, e-mail query I got back -
Thanks for your enquiry.
Whilst a drawing will give us a good idea of the design you want we would not be able to make a cage from it.
We would need a drawing with 'x,y,and z' co-ordinates to produce a design without having your car.
Single diagonals in the rear will be adequate and a diagonal in the roof section preferable.
If you need any further info. please call.
Regards, Roger.
- any ideas???

is this a job for solidworks?
Maybe you could mock a cage up in plastic plumbing tube, that way they can take radiuses etc.

to rusty to do it in 3D myself, but the plastic tube idea is very good

Thanks for the kind offers, much appreciated. Though I think I should have clarified that I haven't done them in CAD yet as I was trying to find
out first what format they required. I will however get right too work on it when I get home, should be a few hours work.
Thanks again

they just need the co-ords for the start, end and bends relative to a datum. It's not a format issue.
Cheers
