Right im looking at buying a rollcage for my fiesta but unsure which to get and price dont bother me within reason but weight does and safety and the abilty to use it racing. So far i can only find one cage thats even made for my model which is an omp 6 point bolt in cage which is more costly than a mutipoint weld in one but its alot lighter and i can fit it my self which is a plus but i think a bolt in cage would only allow me to enter club events hill climbs sprints ect but if i wanted to race say in ford fiesta champ i think i would have to fit a new weld in cage but i cant find one company that sells them for the 1996 to 2002 fiesta.

So what options do i have for a cage? buy a bolt in cage and hope i can use it in a championship or get a weld in one from a diffrent car and mod it to fit or get a besoke cage made but will that even be fia aproved then?

Thanks

 

Have you got an MSA Blue Book mate?
It's got all the information in there about which cages you need for which types of motorsport/classes you do.

if your planning on runing in a msa championship then msa guid lines are fine , Fia cages are for mainly different materials and different diameters

 

Where are you based?
Caged in Frome, Somerset will do what you want to FIA/MSA spec etc.

Andrewg off here, top fella and pretty handy at the old motorsport stuff

 

nope.
But its online anit it (if ive even been reading the right one lol) its got all the rules for suspension engines body cages classes within each sport ect?
Which ive been over it a few times and its confused me

 

Always worth going for a weld in if you're competing IMO.

 

so a simple 6 point weld in cage with door bars is fine then if ive read it right.

 

Weld in cage is best my bolt in one is crap doesn't fit good at all cant see out the mirrors doesn't fit into roof like it should. Where r u in the country ?

iirc 50mmx2mm cds seem less or 45x2.5mm is msa approved but the 50mm is lighter over a whole cage

 

Sounds like you'd be after a t45 cage, as said, where in the country are you?

 

South wales.

 

yeah mk3 cages from customcages are 45x2.5mm which it says high standard than msa min requiments.

well ive only got a little 1.7 engine so would like to have it as light as possible.

 

is there much diffrence in weight between cds and t45? i only work with mild and stainless steel.
South wales.

 

Find a local rally prep/cage guy and have them make one.

If they're any good it will be better than any off the shelf item, and can be tailored to suit you within whatever regs you are racing in.

Plus it'll likely be cheaper than a purchased cage

 

Give Caged a ring in Frome they did mine & are not to far from you

 

Caged are now also a safety devices dealer, but they custom made the one in my old 3DR.

i cannot recommend them enough, excellent quality.
