Multipoint (weld-in) roll cage:
These have a minimum of 8 point attachments.
Please note, HOWEVER – Because our roll cage will fit very closely to the body-shell it would be normal practice to weld the cage to the shell in at least an additional 8 or 10 places, (and sometimes many more) making a minimum of 16 points.
Weld-in roll cage kit:
Our weld-in kits are supplied with all the parts you need to fit a roll cage.
All the tubes are pre-cut and profiled to fit.
They come complete with the footplates that get welded to the car, as well as all relevant gussets.
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
