Bolt in cage platforms

[Cupman29]

Looking for some help on what the thickness and dimensions need to be for a bolt in cage. I have an OMP 6 point cage that has platforms for the main hoop but not for the rear or front legs. The middle hoop has the raised platform but I am presuming the front and rears are just plates welded to the rear arch and floor.

What dimensions and thickness should the plates for the front and rear be to comply with any motorsport regs?

Cheers

This may be of help ( depending on what motorsport you're planning on doing)

1.3.2. Mounting of ROPS to the Bodyshell.
Minimum mountings are:
1 for each leg of the main or lateral rollbar.
1 for each leg of the front rollbar.
1 for each backstay (see 1.3.3).
Each mounting foot of the front, main and lateral
rollbars must include a reinforcement plate of a
material of at least the same thickness as the wall
of the tube to which it is being welded
(minimum 3mm).
Each mounting foot must be attached by at least three
bolts, minimum M8 150 grade 8.8, on a steel
reinforcement plate at least 3mm thick and of at least
120cm2
area which is welded to the bodyshell (see
drawings K13 to K18). The mounting feet may
alternatively be welded direct to the reinforcement
plate. This does not apply to backstays (see 1.3.3).
