they are the ones i was on about , you need the platforms that the cage sits on ?? i would just make them or ring safety devices as they will be car specific

I will get some pics tommorrow collecting a cage off a mate and he has these in his car so i need to do the same as you mate

the youth · 17-11-2009, 04:57 PM

the msa blue book states that rollcage footplates must be a minimum of 3mm and at least as thick as the plates themselves, they must also have a surface area of 120 square cm
I know as I am in the process of modding mine to msa standard

hope you don't want to go racing richie lol

steve

rst in breaking · 17-11-2009, 05:00 PM
