A six point weld-in cage for the Peugeot 106, built by Custom Cages in CDS to their National Spec pattern. Part number PS/106/22NA. It is listed as FIA Approved and MSUK Compliant.
This is the entry point of the 106 range
At 741 this is the cheapest 106 cage Custom Cages make, and the reason is the pattern rather than the quality of the steel. Six points, National Spec. The other three 106 kits are all 1395 and all multipoint: the International Multipoint in CDS or T45, and the Stock Hatch Race in either material.
The choice is really about what you are entering. A six point National Spec cage covers a great many UK club events. If you are heading for a championship that specifies a multipoint or an international specification, this is not the kit and the 600 you save now becomes a cage you have to buy twice.
CDS is not the cheap option, it is the other option
Custom Cages give their high specification CDS (E355) as minimum 370 N/mm2 yield, minimum 510 N/mm2 tensile, and elongation minimum 25 per cent. Their T45 is minimum 620 N/mm2 yield and minimum 700 N/mm2 tensile, with elongation around 15 per cent.
T45 is the stronger steel. CDS has the greater elongation, which is a measure of how far it deforms before it fails. Both are well clear of the minimum the regulations set, and CDS is what the majority of club cages are made from. The FIA asks for minimum tensile 350 N/mm2, Motorsport UK asks for minimum yield 350 N/mm2, and the two figures are not the same measurement.
Fitting
Weld-in. The 106 is a small shell and the job is manageable, but it still wants the interior out and a welder who does motorsport work rather than general fabrication. The welds are the cage.
Before you order
Take the specification to your championship rather than the other way round. FIA Approved and MSUK Compliant are trade phrases rather than regulatory ones. A scrutineer is looking for homologation or an ROPS certificate, whichever your class specifies.
