Welded Roll Hoops

April 2024

These roll hoops were for our 2024 E-Car, Lucie, who had a brand new chassis design that needed some brand new hoops to fit.

Welding these was a another fun challenge for fixturing since they're quite large and have to fit up to the inside and outside walls of the chassis very closely. The metal tubing that forms the hoops and the chassis wall mounts were all cut out and bent in-house by the chassis team and then handed off to me to weld together. From there, I tacked everything on/in the car and took them back to the welding booth to finish them off! 

The hoops then got a powder coat finish and were ready to be bolted up to the car.
