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 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

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
