Fabricating a Miata Kart Roll Cage in Time for Zip Tie Drags

Youtube Video: Finishing our Miata Roll Cage

In this episode, we prep to take the $200 Miata Kart to Roadkill’s Zip Tie Drags in Tuscon, Arizona. Our first task was to finish the roll cage.

In the video, we also demonstrate some of the basics of roll cage fabrication:

• planning
• tube bending
• notching and roll cage bar fitment
• roll cage welding
• fabricating cages on a budget with minimal tools
