Roll Cages

Why have a cage for sprints?

Shimmy,
Its required for cars over 2.0l running in modified road class.
As soon as the scrutineers spotted the Intrax and adjustable top mounts they were all over the fact it only had a 1/2 cage.

Why not go for the custom cages 6 point? Only about £500, think it says about £1000 installed on their site?

If the buggers would get back to me Graham that's likely what id go for and just use the front section tied into what's there already seeing as its Custom cages as well.

Pretty sure the rear would sell on pretty easy on its own.

Oh ok missed the bits about you already having a rear

Yeah rear would sell very easily on Cutters I'd imagine.

Ah...Yes it has a welded in rear Customs Cage that Martin had fitted during his ownership.
Be a shame to remove it.

Oh you have Martins old car, saw it at DN10 last summer looked as good as when Martin had it. Pointless removing a welded cage I guess. Can you not get a custom cage maker to quote you?

Custom Cages were supposed to get back to me regarding a front section but have failed to do so up to now. Like I said in another post I am willing to buy a complete cage and just use the front but yet to hear back.
I will chase them up this week again but if not then I will look at other options.

Yeah I had only had the car a matter of days prior to DN10 so it was my 1st outing in it. I do the DN days every year but have always taken the CSL so this was a little different. Looking forward to DN13 as booked that as an end of season treat

Disappointing show from Custom Cages!

I love DN days just very disappointed with their layouts for 11 & 12! Not a huge van of the VLN layout. Might consider the 13
