Motorsport Vision Half Cage (Info Needed)

[PeteCup]

Anyone have any dimensions or close up pics etc of the ex Motorsport Vision half cages? As i can't seem to find one for sale i was thinking of knocking one up. Any info/pics regarding fixing points would be handy along with tube diameters.

Please dont turn this into a 'whats the point in that type of cage etc' thread, as i've looked at others and the above is just what i'm looking for.

I've found some pics here already but any more info would be appreciated. :approve:

after fitting one, and seeing the "fixing" points,

i would not wana roll over with one fitted!

Its not really for safety, stripped out my car and it just needs something to make it look a bit better, looks like a van at the minute.

Going against what Ben has said, It must of been good enough for a company such as MSV and Dr Palmer.

Must be better than not having one surely!

sm_wrc would be the best person to contact imo.

My thoughts exactly. If you have buckets and harnesses in the car the half cage will be better than having nothing at all I am sure.

The fiting points will be strong enough, but its only a rear loop, Iv only got the rear part of my SD cage in and if the car rolled it could mean that the front is less rigid and would collaspe onto the driver

Hi didn't get round to measuring it last night, will try and do so over the weekend for you. Got some questions anyway which I will try and get answered before i give you dimensions.

Only proper weld in cages that cover the driver are safe.

I've seen pleanty of pics with caved in front roofs, in terms of safety a full roll cage is the only way to go.

Im sure how much protection a half roll cage is going to give, but as mentioned is prob better than nothing.

I know a few cages which are just for looks have been proven to be more of a danger to the occupents when fitted in the event of a crash then not fitted at all.
