Roll Cage Advice...

[Sam Linssner]

Next on my list for the 182 is getting a cage sorted but I cant decide on which one. For the moment I am just doing track days and the main reason for wanting one is safety and harness mounting. In the future I would like to race and obviously then the regulations come into play. Ive had a look on the msa site about it but couldnt really find an answer. What is the minimum requirement? Ive been looking on Custom Cages at the clubman (6 point weld in with harness bar and cross door bars). or the bolt in 6 point from safety devices but that is a bolt in and says on the site that its for track day use only?

I want to get this done right first time so would rather pay more for one thats good for racing...

Thanks in advance.

The first one on Safety Devices site (the 16 model) is the MSA spec one. Speak to Mark Fish about them. Custom Cages one is what I have.
I would definitely get an MSA spec one, as it makes the car more appealing when selling.

thanks for the reply. looking again it says that on the 16 model. i would rather have a weld in cage though. i dont like the way the bolt ins stop short of the dash and ive noticed shells with welded in msa spec cages get snatched up quick

Weld in is generally slightly better, if a bit more hassle to fit. OMP also do a bolt in

I have Custom Cages one it's a weld in like the above comment says slightly more difficult to fit but well worth it!

There's a guy just round the corner from me who does cages, spoke to him last week. Good prices for the work he does.

@BIFCAIDS how much for fitting mate?

 

[BIFCAIDS]

£500 the finish is fantastic, they know their stuff. When I get my Gaz Gold's I'm going to go to them for set up.

Decent, presume they do proper corner weighting there?

I've not asked but Id presume so considering they used to race in the Clio Cup and now race in the Tri Colour Trophy.

Hi

You don't happen to have pictures of the cage feet do you?

I have a rear safety devices cage from Mark Fish and fitting this weekend, would be good to see another fitted first!

Cheers

As promised.

Interesting on the rear feet with the plate underneith!

 

[Mattty]

As promised.

Are those rear plates bent to the shape of the wheel arch or are the plates flat and the rear arch made to have a flat spot on it?

they come flat, it's surprising just how straight the arch is at that point but they do curve slightly as you tighten them

 

[Markrich]

mine mark fish cage is being fitted now at amery motorsport same cage as you bifcaids

 

[chris blue]

Just on the hunt for a welder in my area that will weld plates for my rear, bolt in, half cage.
Only 4 places to bolt, 2 on the wheel arch, and 2 in the footwells behind the front seats
Do all 4 need 3mm welded in steel plates to fix too, or just the 2 feet behind the seats?

Any pics of these footer plates welded in would be useful

Am looking at 6inch square, 3mm steel?
