Rollcage

[leroybrown911]

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

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.

Yes keep me in the loop, no pun intended

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:

I cant have s bend if I plan to race it as it will not meet FIA spec..... but fine for a road car

Looks nce Deanno, commented on the look of your cage b4. What does it need to be made out of? wall thickness etc...?
