Rollcage Fitting Queries From The Other Thread...pics + Info Here.

[petert 586]

I think Rippthrough should request a clean up of this thread. It's been ruined now.

[Cameron 16]

Is it irritating when people hijack a thread to argue over petty issues? Hmm.. I must make a note of that.

[Baz 421]

I don't get the point of this thread?!

 

I also don't really see the need to go to the rear-most rear beam mounting points tbh. Although one of mine does, i'm happy with the design and it sits close to the shell(CC).

 

 

 

CC got a lot of stick in years gone by after they weren't completely welding all the way round the main-hoops adjoining tubes, since then they supposedly cleaned up their act.

^^^^Nice!

Main hoops have to be thicker now don't they for the MSA???

 

[Baz 421]

Yup, have been for a few years, 45mm iirc.

[Cameron 16]

45mm x 2.5mm or 50mm x 2.0mm, but cage designs that were homologated under the old rules (i.e. Safety Devices) can get away with 38mm x 2.5mm.

Id say the roof bar is in the wrong way as it doesnt protect the drivers head in that first pic?

Not sure how to post those up

[Rippthrough 98]

I don't get the point of this thread?!

 

Petert was just asking how the cage goes in on the feet, etc, for fitting, so I just stook a thread up with the feet in to show what I meant in case anyone else wanted to see.

Wait, is this the part where I throw all my toys out of the pram 'cause someone did a bit of light piss-taking?

 

Quick, let me find my dummy...

[jorg 11]

is that my car pictured at the top of the page phil?

[Rippthrough 98]

It is indeed, although you'll notice the pillars actually fit on yours, those went in the bin!

[Cameron 16]

You must have had kittens when you saw this! Or is it ok because it's Sandy's work?

 

 

(I should probably add a little disclaimer: I'm not saying this is a bad thing, as I understand why it's been done, but it demonstrates my point very nicely)

That's not sandy's work, he does engines...

 

 

 

 

ROFLMAO....

Is it Ricky's old car?

[Cameron 16]

You know what I mean.

Doesn't demonstrate any point at all, if you looked a bit closer you'd notice my main hoops sit behind the b-pillars too.

[Cameron 16]

So how are they a tap-fit when they don't even touch the pillars?

[cybernck 402 1 Cars]

And how about this one?

 

 

[Rippthrough 98]

They press against the roof structure Cameron....you know, that bit where your head is that you don't want to come in.

 

As for that one Cybernck, looks like it'd do a nice job of folding up and trapping you in the car in a roll!

[Cameron 16]

My head is nowhere near the roof.

 

And how about this one?

 

 

 

That ^^ is incredible.

[Rippthrough 98]

's not my fault yer a short arse

 

That ^^ is incredible.

 

I can't work out how the hell somebody could stand back after making that and think it was a great job. Although I suppose if you really, really, really, really, wanted the dashboard...

I'm 6'.

 

Side mounts at floor level FTW.

[Rippthrough 98]

Yeah, it was.

Looks like somebody's nicked the handles out a disabled toilet, painted them red and stuck them in the car
