How useful/neccesary are these in reality. I know the whole spiel of not being burnt alive in a crash but...the capri didn't have one when it rolled out of the factory - is it adviseable to find some alusheeting and knock one up to get the fuel tank cut off from the cabin?
Thoughts pleasethankyou.

Depends whether you are competing or not really ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) Its a requirement that the fuel tank/pumps etc are cut off from the Cabin by a fully sealed fuelproof bulkhead Can help to add torsional strength to the shell if done right as well ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ;D which may or may not be of use to you ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png)

I would like to do some trackdays in it but nowt more. I suppose the best way would be to make up a couple of bars to go across the car behind the cage and tack on a sheet of something or other onto those bars.
It would have to be totally sealed, as in roof to floor to be of any use right?

*ponders how to leave any rear vision, it being a hatch and all*
p.s. slater wouldn't the f/glass idea (literally) be as much use as a chocolate teapot?
