Rollcage
Does anybody have any plans or dimensions for a full cage. I fancy a full gae now rather than a roll bar. I have built chassis to suit GRP body and rear tub.
Thanks for your help Leigh

I have been designing one with a engineering company... to my own design but to meet FIA standards.... a little over kill being 50mm tube 2mm wall but it will be strong. The front legs will be outside the chassis as I am over 6ft and would like to keep the leg room. I haven't finalised how I will have the front hoop attach to the chassis either yet.
Very similar to MK rollcage but will NOT have s bend in front legs of roll hoop. Not sure on the price exactly yet but I could probably get him to make up more once the design is complete and trial fitted to chassis. I am expecting around £500 If you are interested I will let you know in the next week what it will cost for sure.

What do you think of the price..... does that sound reasonable?
I'm not sure what other companies charge... I phone a couple one said £1500 and the other said £800.

I'm planning to go for a full cage but not meeting FIA spec but mainly for show and general looks it should be safe enough if the wost should happen but the only problem i see with it is the front legs have the curve in it giving it a Weak point.
hope this helps: http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4827

Leigh,
its not my cage but its the one i plan to copy, i agree its not to FIA spec as i am only going for looks but for IVA i'm putting the standard hoop on as this will be used when i eventually put a screen on as i plan to use it as my everyday car. All the Best Dean for hill climbing i would think just a roll over bar? where abouts are you located? there is a hillclimb in Llys-Y-Fran on the 8th May and 17th June.

Thanks gents, sorry Deanno, got a bit confused there, thought that pic was your cage, I have seen it before.
Deanno I am in Wrexham so a bit of a trek. I went to a hillclimb near Shrewsbury a week or so ago and it is on again end of the month so will I probably go again. Mike The price seems reasonable. It is more than what I would like to pay being a tight arse, but probably a fair price. I was asking for dimensions/plans as I would have a go making my own, havent priced up steel yet, but would imagine it would be alot cheaper than £500.
