Bolt-in Roll Cage:
- Bolt-in kits are a quick and effective way of installing a roll cage in a car.
- Due to the bolts and fixings, they are always heavier than a weld-in kit, but will only require welding for footplates.
- Our kits employ FIA tested and certificated ‘lap-joints’ which are stronger and lighter than traditional fixings – and almost invisible once painted.
- We also try to avoid using footplate boxes – they are no longer acceptable for International events. Our kits employ underfloor doubler plates instead.
- Depending on category and model they may have up to 14 fixing points.
- High tensile 12.9 grade fixings used (and supplied) throughout.
- Supplied either powder-coated or plain steel.
A roll cage design must comply with the MSA/FIA technical regulations published in the MS UK Blue book. It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure his/her roll cage complies with the technical regulations appropriate to the event they are competing in.
To obtain a certificate for a self-fit roll cage, the installer must complete a Custom Cages weld test. Custom Cages’ roll cage kits include a weld test sample. Once completed these are returned to the company for load testing. They are subjected to a physical test to assess the actual yield strength of the weld. This ensures that the self-fit roll cages achieve the highest standards of integrity. Additional samples may be requested, and Certificates will only be issued on completion of a successful test.
Please be aware that there is a charge of £60.00 + VAT for all MS UK / FIA Certificate.
