|  styrene ?
i am looking to build a interior for my jeep body i have and am looking to build it out of styrene and i want to add a cage in it, so i am loking to build my cage out of brake line and screw it too the styrene i was wondering if the styrene will hold up if i roll it. i dont want to put in a ton of work and have the interior brake the first time i roll it, i have searched and have not found anything thanks matt |

i dont think the styrene will hold up it needs to be reinforced by the frame if you dont want to break it.

You could also think about having the cage bolt to the frame by going through the styrene, it would be the strongest option. | |

if its reinforced well and you don't abuse it and let it tumble down huge hills it shouldn't be too bad just screwed to the styrene. that's how mine is in my jeep and its holding just fine
