roll cage weight? - impotentials - 18-07-2016
So ive found a 4 point bolt in roll cage within my budget but need to get it send to me.
So my question to those in the know is how much they weigh, even roughly, guessing around 15kg. It's a main hoop and x brace at rear.
Thanks

Be more than 15kg

wtf is a 4 point cage?!
a decent CDS cage is 40 odd kilos, less if its chromoly or T45

4 point cage! is that just the back half loop and rear drop bars
where s the rest of it like front legs and door bars those are the important parts
may be the one in bodmin thats for sale on one of the FB groups

Thats the one cully, believe they call it a half cage.
you think it's pointless?
Mainly thinking of having it for roll over protection. Budget wise it all fits.
so weight?

Buy a proper cage, the clue is in the name - show cage.

Didnt think that was a show cage. Aren'tthey made of thin alloy and very under braced?
Ie, a hoop and a 45% arm.
RE: roll cage weight? - welshpug - 18-07-2016
still a show cage tbh, the important parts are the front legs and main hoop.
RE: roll cage weight? - impotentials - 18-07-2016
Thanks guys. Think I'll pass on it then. Postage looks like it's a killer anyway.
looks like a 6 point in the future then.
RE: roll cage weight? - welshpug - 18-07-2016
id go for something with more like 18 points of contact or more.

naff all protection from a drivers point, May aswell fit a saxo alloy show cage. Do it once do it right imo.

4 point think he means 6
