Custom Cages Mini GPA International T45 Roll Cage Kit

• CNC formed tubes for the main hoop, A pillar hoops etc with square and profiled ends are necessary.
• Straight tubes with profiled ends ready for welding into place.
• Set of footplates.
• Check list (every tube has an identifying sticker) so you can be sure you have a complete kit (we will have already have checked that you have the right tubes twice before the kit is packed).
• Instructions sheet.
• CD showing the fully fitted roll cage.

Key Features:

• Weld-In roll cage.
• Provided in a bare metal finish as standard – additional powder coating is available upon request, please contact us before purchasing.
• MSUK Compliant.
• FIA Certified.
• Made using high strength T45 steel tubing.

This roll cage is designed for use in the following models:

• Mini GPA

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.

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.

Fully certificated roll-cage designs give a distinct advantage over roll-cages constructed to minimum compliance as they are constructed using a small diameter / thinner gauge tube, thus giving a considerable weight saving. Depending on the make & model, a fully certificated roll cage gives you the ability to compete in FIA International events and feature the following:

• A certificated design is manufactured to meet the FIA / MSUK Roll Cage Homologation Regulations.
• Usually, a ‘Multi-point’ design which adds stiffness and strength to the bodyshell.
• These are almost always a ‘weld-in’ cage which is lighter and stiffer than a ‘bolt-in’ cage.
• The designs are stress tested to prove their integrity and geometry, and tube sizes are optimised to give the best strength-to-weight ratio.
• We always use high-tensile tube for these designs (normally T45, which has a tensile strength of min. 700 Mpa) to further enhance their advantages.
• An FIA / MSUK certificated roll cage is accepted worldwide and enables competitors to run in any FIA-sanctioned event.
• Can be as much as 20 kg lighter than an MSUK compliant design.
• When correctly installed, they add value and saleability to a vehicle.
• They are authorised in the UK by MSUK (the MSA as was), but the certificates are still referred to as FIA papers.
• These regulations are constantly evolving, so new designs have to reflect these changes.

MSUK Compliant – See our ‘National’ range:

The roll cage will be made using the minimum MSUK prescribed tube sizes – thicker gauge than we would use in a certificated design, and, so (unfortunately) heavier. Usually, these are manufactured from CDS (Cold Drawn Seamless) tube – ours is a high tensile material with a minimum tensile strength of 510 Mpa – although T45 can be specified at extra cost. These cages are eligible for all MSUK events.
