3.E ROLLCAGE REGULATIONS

OK , lets make this more simple for the simple. GO GET A PROFESSINAL CAGE MAKER TO MAKE YOUR CAGE!! GET A CERTIFICATE OF PRODUCTION….the time you spend trying to save a dollars doing it yourself is pointless.

The roll cages at a minimum need to be a 6 point CAMS or AASA, Feel free to beef the sucker up the world rally specs…hell I will give you laps for that!

They can be bolt in or weld in as long as they are to the spec mentioned above.

If you have any trouble with this, go get some professional advice !!

Roll bar and Structure. Professionally made full roll cage required. A poorly built, improperly mounted, or badly engineered roll cage will keep you from driving: Don’t show up with crap!.  At minimum, cage must include: Full front and rear hoop, appropriately braced to each other along the roofline (halo type and side/down bar type are also acceptable); two driver-side door bars, or side intrusion. appropriate main-hoop backstays with no bends, located as close to 45 degrees from horizontal as practical; one main-hoop diagonal; appropriate spreader plates and gussets; complete 360-degree welds at all joints, including all car-to-cage joints. Each major loadbearing member must be formed from a single, continuous tube. Shoulder-harness bars are necessary for proper shoulder-harness mounting in nearly all applications (the harness-to-bar attachment point must be between zero and 15 degrees lower than the harness’s seat-entry point). Dash bars are very strongly encouraged. On all sides, all drivers’ helmeted heads must be at least two inches inside the area enclosed by the cage.  For simple illustrations, Minimum tubing size for cars weighing under 1136kg as raced is 1.50″ x .120″ or 1.75″ x .095″. Properly bent, racecar-grade and -quality tubing is mandatory: no stretched or crushed bends allowed..  All spreader plates must be mild steel, at least 24 square inches

All roll cage tubing must be padded with high-density roll bar padding wherever a driver may contact the tube–head, knees, elbows, Roll cage Attachment to Vehicle.  All attachment points on the vehicle must be selected and reinforced as necessary so that, in an accident, the cage will not punch through, tear, or grossly distort the attachment point. Contour-following spreader plates; backing panels; gussets; and/or other reinforcing elements are generally required to meet this goal. Cages mounted to rusty, thin, under-supported, or otherwise stupid attachment points will flunk tech immediately

The pictures below explain……this is your minimum requirement !! take a good look!. Secure and structurally rigid positions on every 6 points!!

great pictures but what is the conversion of $500 US into Australian money $5,500 - some VERY nice looking cars that Ford Taxi looks like it rolled off the line and onto the track.
