There was never any question about the roll cage made and supplied to the Teamtrain Saturn that is currently being raced in Northern Sports series,it was MSA spec in regard to height ,width and rear protection etc and passed scrutineering everytime.

It was book spec ish.

Sounds fantastic. Just re-read 1st post and seen the design. I'd very much like a light flat pack one to go onto my existing book spec roll hoop.

Yes, I think it would easier to have the complete roll cage, including a new roll over bar and just replace the existing. I'll probably add rear down stays to the cage as well, simply because my body work has holes in the rear tub lid for it.

So what would the price be for a complete kit? Is it 2B? Let me know when an order can be placed and I'll jump on it. Time to get the Lincoln Electric Tig set out and brush up on my welding

Have you considered a diagonal in the roll hoop and rear supports? I believe they are required in the Bluebook? Either way it would add substantialy to the strength.
