1968 - 1972 Chevelle GM A-Body TigerCage
The Tiger Cage is specifically designed to interface with the
structural strength points of the OEM A-Body (or frame) to tie them
together & increase torsional rigidity within the chassis.
As with any “rollcage,” the main function and ultimate purpose of the
TigerCage is to protect the occupants in case of a crash. However, its
usefulness is more often expressed in stiffening and strengthening the
car’s chassis.
The main hoop of the TigerCage connects to the area behind the front seats where the rocker boxes intersect the floorboard.
The “back bars” run from the top corners of the main hoop to the rear
package tray, which is an important structural reinforcement in most
cars, and is secured in both the horizontal plane and the vertical plane
to optimize rigidity. The mating trunk bars join with the back bars
underneath the package tray and are fastened with reinforced brackets to
the rear framerail to complete the base structure.
Not only does this increased rigidity allow extra crash protection,
it will allow the vehicles suspension to react more predictably to
driver input.
Although every effort is made to optimize the crash protection
benefits, please be aware that any crash protection that a TigerCage (or
any other rollcage) may offer is strictly coincidental. It is
impossible to guarantee any specific level of protection in a crash
situation.
The TigerCage is specifically designed for each application and is easy to
install. It's patented clamp collar components tie the structural
strength points of the car together to increase chassis rigidity. It can
also be installed in a finished car in about 6 hours with common hand
tools.
