Yeah I was looking at the Bell 3/4 open faces. And Tiffany was calling around about the communications systems. I know she talked in depth to a guy at Roundeyes, but I dont know the details. There was a thread on Pirate in the Comp section about team radios. But I haven't gone any further than that.P said:
What'd I'd like, but don't know if its possible is helmet to helmet between driver/co-driver, and 2 people (crew) could also hear us on headsets. So that would be 4 radios, but no idea on if thats something thats possible or doable or cost.......

On the helmet to helmet communication. Check Dennis Kirk or J&P cycles. One of them had a setup where you could just keep adding radios for more people to talk to. They are also waterproof since they are for bikes.

So I've been making slow progress. Hard to get buggy time in with work being so insane and the baby.
Anywho, Go_Vols came over this afternoon/evening and helped me knock out the rear firewall. Was super handy having that extra set of hands.
The passenger had zero amentities in my buggy, nowhere to put your feet or hands. Your feet dangle out the front and you could only tuck your thumbs behind the 5-point and thats it. So I built a foothold, and am in the process of building a "T" handle. Just waiting on the steering wheel quick disco. hub to weld it all up so that the "t" is removeable like a racing steering wheel.
1x3 tubing that I bent, and then gusseted.
The drivers had near zero pedal control without a heal hold. Everytime I've been out, I have had leg cramps that night from the constant trying to feather the throttle using my quads rather than my calf & ankle. So I put in a heal hold, as well as moved both the gas and brake up a little over an inch each.
Pic of the controls pre-fab.
Here is the heal hold clamped in place. Its a piece of 1.25x1.25 aluminum angle, that I drilled and speed hole'd.
Another angle. Between constantly getting in and out for the passenger side foothold, and this thing, I was sore from all the climbing in and out. Fuggin buggy is rough on entry and exit when you do it 50+ times in a day.....
F-ing recovery points. I'm so screwed if I ever get stuck. I had no recovery points front or rear, and both of my winches are currently permanently hooked to my axles. I got a 2 pack of d-ring points from Ballistic with the thought 1 for the front and 1 for the rear. Well these really only would work on the rear for me. I need to figure something else out for the front. And yeah yeah, I know I need to fix my axle breather tube.
Ballistic makes a helluva product.
Rear firewall in. I still need to remove it, paint all the tabs, peal the protective coating and reinstall. Let me say that the Mcmaster-Carr tabs are the ****. This thing went in like butta', and thanks to Todd for bringing beer and helping out. I tried to do some gHey cardboard template, and looked like a monkey ****ing a football. Todd had an idea, and we rocked it. Good idea.
I still lack tons, but its coming along. Should have the Mastercraft window nets late next week, and I need to order up some parts for toher stuff, including spares. Oh and the last thing I'm waiting on is our Team #, back from Jodi Weaver. Depending on what we got, kinda drives what the team name is, and then I'll be able to get some crew shirts made up. WOOT!

Was the firewall hump alway there over the top of the tranny or did you brake and bend that as well ? Im going to try to weasel my buggy into work and get one of our aluminum sheetmetal guys to help me make a clean go at my interior once Im at that point.
what did you end up using for thickness on your rear firewall ?

All my interior panels were already made, floorpan, and a majority of the front "firewall".
I have to do a bunch of work to make my front firewall pass tech. Its more of a heat shield to the passengers than a firewall.
For the lexan I got 1/8" and based on the weight, thats what I'm going to finish the front out with.

I was lookin into 1/8 but my only concern was if it was "floppy" in those large of a section. Not that its a big concern can always add a mount here or there. ( Im not that far yet, just thinking outloud and asking questions to save time when I get there. )
