now dont get me wrong,thats does look the nuts and alot of hard work has gone it to it,and to a very high standard

but the front bar that comes off the A post bar and goes to the floor,is that going to be in the way,like when its all fitted up and your driving it

apart from that it looks very well done

i see there welded to it but i meant through them like 99% of most other cages the are fia approved etc, also it would create that little bit more space compare to having them welded on the side,

like my cage here

well here is statement from the msa book

MSA Blue Book 2009, Section C(c), p161
27. Minimum CDS tube specifications are:

• Minimum Material: Cold Drawn Seamless Carbon Steel
• Minimum Yield Strength: 350 N/mm2
• Minimum Dimensions (Ř mm):
  • 45x2.5 or 50x2.0
  • 38x2.5 or 40x2.0 (for roll cages/bars approved prior to 1995)

so cages should be made 45x2.5 or 50x2.0 if put in after 95 ,
