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

Flyerncle that sounds a lot more effort than doing 2 fishmouths for the rear uprights, you can use a fishmouth calculator which allows you to print off the profile and stick it to the tube which you then cut around. Or you could use a hole saw and a jig and have a perfect cut every time.

Just been quoted £700 + vat + delivery by customcages.co.uk who would only make it in T45 tube!! Fook me! I'll take two!!
Any companies out there wanting to take this on a bit cheaper? |

Argh but the custom cages ones are fully compliant for racing, that's what they do for a living for all sorts of cars from Aston's to Mini's as well as kit cars. It makes a huge difference to how it works in the event you get all arse about face and end up the wrong way round. And T45 isn't exactly cheap, also needs to be tig welded and Custom Cage's have some damn fine tig welding bods..

I have 2-3 different designs that I have in the pipe line, when the pipe stops getting longer every time a job gets crossed of the list I'll have time to play with some tube.
design 1: internal bolt in cage that can be fitted to finished cars with GRP side panels. design 2: external bolt on cage with side impact bars that requires drilling through the side panels for cars with ali sides. Also have a few different ideas for top bars including back to back C's. Material will most likly be 40 - 42mm by 2-2.5mm wall in ERW or CDS depending on what you want to spend.
