these arnt them are they? im after the bits that go below the cage as cage only sits half on the inner cill. i could do with some pics if anyone has any? cheers

 

try rally design mate

 

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

 

x sport sell them too

 

yep thats what i mean , im guessing they normally come with the cage then lol , cheers

 

yes .

 

i had to make my back foot plates as the rear was secondhand,but when i got the front section brand new from chris birkbeck rally,the front foot plates came with the cage, if i were you id make them up and save your self a few quid, not to mention time waiting

 

what thickness steel are they made from? any pics (dont mean to sound dumb as i reckon i know exactly what is required, but dont want a cage not fitted properly) cheers mate

 

il try get you pics of mine mate front and rear and pm you

 

Made mine from 2.5mm plate iirc


Spot welded nuts on as well to make it easier to fit

 

very similar to mine

 

cheers mate, and theyre just sat on the inner cill and seam welded to the floor? if you have pics of them fitted that would be great, cheers

 

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 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

 

so all im after on the rear of the cage where it meets the floor is 120mm boxed plate to the bottom of the cage? any requirements at front section or where it meets the arches? cheers

 

cheers dave you at brands 2mo? might pop up

 

Used them in the Saff which now has no cage, just a load of holes in the floor

 

no mate will be there next tuesday for the track day though
