Full cage
Hi Guys,
I don't know how many of you would be interested in a full cage to fit the Roadster? The design is by the forum's own David Dew, and can be seen in this thread http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4827 the kit of parts will include all the tubes, which are cnc mandrell bent, all the plates to mount to the chassis, the seat belt bosses and the plates for feet of the cage. The rear stays will be left long so you can fit them to your chassis. The tubes are from 50.8mm ERW with a wall thickness of 3.2mm, as per David's plans. This is not an MSA compliant cage, as the front bar has a double bend in it, so is for road use only. If you plan to use your Roadster for sprints etc please contact us as we are developing one for this. Cost will be £350, this is based on a batch of 10, for a complete kit. Delivery would be £10. If you are interested can you list your name below, if i get 8 people then I'll get the tubes run. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Kind regards John

Hi John,
I would be very interested in a roll cage, however after doing some research I am looking to get a full cage with side impact protection, as well as a front bar which has 1 bend in it to ensure it is msa compliant and that instead of the front cage intruding on cockpit, it instead fixes to the scuttle area, meaning there is more leg room. I will be designing this cage myself (using pro engineer and pro mechanica for finite element analysis) so once it's done I'll happily send across the drawings of it for you, i'm hoping to have it done by the end of sept/mid oct, if others are interested.

Will the tubes have the birds' mouths cut?

Hi Mr H,
yes, the only part unfinished will be the ends of the back stays, this is because of the difference between the fibreglass and ally tub back ends. kind regards John

Talking of roll bars does anyone know if removeable back stays are IVA'ble.

It's unlikely, as the Roadset is wider than the MK. Just to check though, if you measure across the body at it's widest point the Roadster is 1118mm. Kind regards John
