Detroit Speed Roll Cage Kit (1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird) - 011303DS
Add chassis strength and additional occupant protection to your second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed 011303DS Roll Cage Kit. Designed specifically for 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird applications, this 4-point cage follows the interior lines of the car and packages tightly against the headliner and rear window glass. The result is a purpose-built cage that reinforces the chassis while maintaining a clean, integrated fit inside the vehicle.
Detroit Speed constructs both the main hoop and removable crossbar from 1-5/8 inch x 0.134 inch wall mild steel tubing. The tubing is pre-notched to reduce fabrication work and installation time, while pre-bent rocker panel floor plates and trunk floor plates provide application-specific mounting points. The trunk floor plate design accommodates both mini-tubbed and stock trunk pan configurations, making the 011303DS suitable for a wide range of second-generation Camaro and Firebird builds.
A key feature of the 011303DS is its removable crossbar with Detroit Speed CNC-machined steel clevis connections. The removable design provides easier access when needed while retaining the additional structure of the crossbar when installed. Combined with the close-fitting main hoop and application-specific floor plates, the system provides a clean approach to adding chassis reinforcement without building a cage entirely from scratch.
Installation requires welding, and proper structural welding is essential to the integrity of the finished cage. Detroit Speed supplies the major components pre-bent and pre-notched to streamline fabrication, but professional installation is recommended for builders without the necessary welding and fabrication experience.
Important safety information: Detroit Speed specifies the 011303DS Roll Cage Kit for off-road use only and states that it is not intended for use with back-seat passengers. Because the cage incorporates a removable crossbar, it does not meet NHRA or IHRA requirements. Anyone preparing a Camaro or Firebird for sanctioned competition should verify the current requirements of the applicable racing organization before installation. This item must ship by freight.
