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.

Llys y Fran
Clarbeston Road
Haverfordwest

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.

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.

I am pretty sure if you hunt around on here there are PDF drawings of that rollcage shown in the thread above.

The steel is around £15-20 a meter for CDS to the right spec... The bends must be rotary drawn or manderal bent to meet FIA spec which is the only reason I am getting it bent for me really.

If I was purely using it for track days I would defo make it myself. But I am was hoping to get a few races in 750mc RGB this year

excellent, thanks for all your help. I think I will go with this rollcage. I really like the look of it. Although not FIA compliant it should be ok for hillclimbing and give more protection than a single roll bar.

Cheers

Good to see the drawings are still floating around on here.

Have a look at my photobucket account if you want to see some of the cage finished on the chassis.

Cheers

Dave
