Historic (Weld-in) Roll Cages:
- Traditionally these would be a ‘6-point’ design and significantly simpler than most ‘multi-point’ cages.
- Keeping to the spirit of the period is the key to most of the designs, which is why we try to replicate the original geometry.
- Current FIA regulations (Appendix K) allow for effectively full modern cages, but these often don’t reflect the designs of the day.
- Weld-in cages are perfectly acceptable and legal, although the number of fixings and mounting points is restricted.
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 Certificates
