4:48 the most brilliant tool I have ever seen, I wish I had one of these back in the 80's it would have saved a lot of labor and a lot of wasted metal.
That wouldn't get past tech inspection here. You can't have any holes in the base plate, and the base plates aren't even contoured to the floor. If you want to build a proper roll cage don't look at this.
I just want to point out to anyone who is going to embark on building their own roll cage that the base plates or mounting plates that the tubes get welded to can not be drilled so the tube passes through them. The plates have to be solid, otherwise, in the case of a roll over the weight of the car would all then be being supported by the welds holding the tube from being pushed through those holes. The mounting plates need to be solid (no holes cut where the tubes get welded). Just wanted to share that with you guys.
Yeah, I didn't get that either. Looks like you'd just move the plates to drop the cage down through the holes to weld the top, then slide the solid plates back under, then weld those.
@James I don’t know about that James. I build cages and am a technical inspector for the SCCBC, our governing body is the FIA and I’ve never seen this method in any of the rule books....not to say I know everything, I’ve just never seen this way of doing things. I will say that for some reason, some rules in Europe are somewhat different then here in Canada but this one would impede the safety of the driver.
I think its possible he is welding them properly to the frame rails of the car that run underneath the floor. its likely that even if he welded it on plates to the floor, the floor itself would rip.
Love the quality
Work , filming , explaining !
Just wow !
Wow finally a clear and simple video about Roll cage building.. wonderful job mate . Good luck

What’s that tool called?
@@leedave9314 He called it a coping jig in the video.
Tube notcher mate
In 80´s you dont had paper and pen?
@@stancemaniac I had a paper and pen but that tool would have been so much faster and easier.
That´s pretty awesome... He is a cool craftsman...
Ant is da man ! Very smart this guy is !
Great work and explanation thank Ant!
Who’s really doing the work and making this chancer look good !
Ant is a good dude.
The uk flag makes a great pattern for a welding helmet! Love it!
You Sir are a good craftsman
Myself on the other hand not so much
So let's hope this works
I'll report back if i died
Good stuff mate
“Now I want the machine to do the work for me” 🤔 that’s Gordon Ramsay working on a car?
How do you know well the backside if you already tacked it all in on the main
Great video

WOW AWESOME
Brilliant where can i get a coping jig?

I have never known or met anyone who has a metric accent, but speaks in standard American inches. Good job "Homes"...

I think he just did that to set the rollcage height as the holes seemed to big for a solid weld

how are those base plates race legal and safe??
wow!!!
Why does this sound so much simpler than any other how to rollcage video?! lol
Why make Ant look like he is going to smash your head in in the title picture!?
If you're here to learn more about building cages look elsewhere.
Old valient p5
ant what you phone number
What in the fuckety fuck?
