[QUOTE="Greensix, post: 7724566, member: 49473"] That is correct. Also, I would never use chromoly as a structural material that is meant to resist impact forces. Just for the simple fact it absorbs no energy unless there is a total failure. I did several test this year with plain steel vs. alloy steel. Chromoly, while very strong, was so damn damn brittle during impacts. For the forces that a roll cage needs to endure, chromoly is out. The weight savings are starting to dwindle as most racing groups are requiring thicker and thicker tubing for chromoly. [/QUOTE]
