Safety
Features
The legends of the
60’s race cars were built not only from racing victories but from
tragedies. Our job is much easier today than it was for the racers of
30 years ago. Back then, many basic safety features were either not
used or not available. We’ve added modern safety features that the
original cars lacked. Today, things like an inertia cut-off switch for
the fuel pump protects the driver and occupants from fire. Safety and
reliability are areas where the modern running gear is just plain
better than the original equipment. Advances in materials and
engineering mean better steel, stronger rivets, more consistent and
predictable fasteners. The Factory Five Racing kit comes with
the following safety features.
|
- The FFR Coupe comes
standard with a 6-point welded rollcage that uses specifications
set by major racing organizations.
- 5
point race harnesses.
-
1" tubular steel door frames and under door side impact protection
- DOT approved door latches
.
-
DOT safety glass windshield.
- Externally mounted, double shielded fuel tank with fuel pump impact shut-off
switch (from the Mustang 5.0 donor).
- Collapsible steering
column
Collapsible steering column (same as in Mustang 5.0).
- Front and
rear crumple zones.
- Energy absorbing
steel frame and aluminum sub-frame (not fiberglass).
- Manufacturing
controls like receiving/inspection of parts, computer designed
frame jig and final QC inspections.
Safety
is a combination of good engineering, correct materials, and careful
construction. Sometimes we forget that a big part of safety is also
the car and it’s operator. The superior braking and handling aspect
of our car means it is functionally safer than lesser performing cars.
Whenever
you head out onto a racetrack…. You and your equipment should be
prepared for what may happen.
