roll cage - connorp - 30-06-2015
I've just been on demon tweaks looking at roll cages, which one would people suggest and why?
RE: roll cage - adam b - 30-06-2015
Unless you get a discount I'd shop around then see if they'll match it.
Get a quote from custom cages too.
What are you doing with the car?
RE: roll cage - Eeyore - 30-06-2015
i think the normal omp 6 point is £480 inc vat or something. its the cheapest anyway and you can always get the X or harness bars welded in.
RE: roll cage - Pebbles167 - 01-07-2015
I wouldn't go for the basic OMP, it's not a great cage. Id rather spend the extra couple of hundred for a better OMP cage or a Cutomcages or safety devices job. It's a bit of a pain fitting rollcages too, and unless done properly, it'll never be FIA legal.
Here is an OMP basic cage i bought.

Custom cages are good but require a lot of time and skill to fit as they are supplied as a box of tubes. They are only as good as the person welding them together.

It's my daily at the moment but will be tracking it soon and it will be my daily until around march time then it's going to be just a track car.
Where are the points the cage mounts to? There's 2 in the boot I know but where do the other 4 actually mount to?
RE: roll cage - 7057sam - 01-07-2015
6.2 in boot 2 behind the seats and 2 in front of the dash
Few photo to show you the mounting points of my rallye

Thanks 7057sam

Custom cages supplied one needs a lot of work to fit right. Ask Phil / Rippthrough
A bolt in cage still is only as good as it's attachment into the car
RE: roll cage - welshpug - 02-07-2015
I think adams cage has something like 18 points of contact.
RE: roll cage - adam b - 02-07-2015
Yeah but it was built to massively exceed msa regs (50 x 2mm tube) and its not the lightest thing in the world

They redid the cages after Jim had the same issue, apparently they're a lot better now, although there's still issues with the dash bars and rear cross notching.
I still won't touch them, if someone wants a cage, they bring the car and have it custom made here to fit the shell - too much hassle fixing other firms f**kups.
Mountings for a 6-point are usually either a plate or box foot up front in the side of the footwell, a box foot in the corner behind the seats where the floor rises up for the rear bench/fuel tank, and then either the big crossmember where the beam mounts in the rear or sometimes the rear arches depending on the cage, optionally tied in to b-pillars/a-pillars or stitch welded around the door hole depending on regs.
Don't forget to factor fitting costs in if you can't weld/fabricate the feet/mountings into the car.
RE: roll cage - Pebbles167 - 02-07-2015
Pretty sure this was a custom cages job. Albeit a home weld, with the weld mounts ground flat. For that reason it would need work to get it FIA legal.

Arg! I know!
RE: roll cage - adam b - 02-07-2015
Looks like a custom cages F2.
Mine doesn't have under dash bars, but does tie into the main bulkhead cross member. Has another cross behind the seats instead of the U shape. Otherwise basically the same. Pretty overkill for what I use it for

RE: roll cage - Pebbles167 - 02-07-2015
^ true, but the cage will hold the value of the car up if you have cerificates and have done it to the proper standard.
I had a combe saloon racer look at mine, amd inform me the welds were unsuitable for FIA spec, hence i sold the car.
