I was wondering about the roof X . Can these tubes run to #12a & b as long as they are within 3 inches of #13 ? Did I interpet this wrong , reread after I did this and do not want to weld them in if it is gonna be wrong . Thanks in advance .

The forward end of the Roll Cage Roof "X" Braces must intersect the Upper Windshield/Halo bar #13 within three (3) inches of the corners.
I would say it has to be welded to the upper windshield bar...whether it be the front part of the roof halo, or upper windshield bar connecting 12A and B depending on which way you built it...but not welded to 12A and B.

Thats my thinking after rereading the book . Guy in the stock suspension thread has them going to #12a&b . He said he did a 25.2 the same way and it certified . I do not want to weld these in and have to cut them out . I guess my best bet would be to move them now . Thanks

Here is a link to all of the D 5 chassis guys info. http://www.nhradiv5.com/apcm/templates/divtech.asp?articleid=9910&zoneid=27
Bob Blackwell is also a very good resource related to chassis. When I first started as an inspector he hosted a meeting for inspectors from all over. Very informative.
