Steve 90 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 With the likelihood of MSA approval on roll cages looming ever more possible, also the XTC events looking as if MSA approval will be necessary, I can't see as I have any choice other than to be sure the cage on the new build/rebuild/whatever it ends up being is in line with the MSA spec. Can anyone confirm (as in you know its fact rather than "I think it'll be OK") if its OK to run the rear roll cage stays from chassis (yes I know it has to be chassis) to the outer top corners of the rear/main hoop? Or must the stays be parallel? As far as I can make out from the different examples its fine to have them going to the corners but I think its wise to check. I have found this which is excellent http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=14161 (thanks Nige) but certain parts are hard to read as the writing is a little poor where its been scanned in. Does anyone know where else I may be able to find the blue book? I assume its available from the AWDC which I will look into but could do with some info a little quicker if possible. Cheers. Steve.

mmgemini Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Steve. Are you a member of an RAC MSA club. If so either the secretary or the comp secretary should be able to give or lend you a Blue Book. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Perfect, Thanks mate. PM me your address and I'll post it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_s Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You could always give Neil (najw) a bell to confirm, or he may well be along here at some point.. Though he's probably organising the weekend's event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
najw Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 The rear backstays don't have to be parallel, so can run from chassis to outer corner. You can get a Blue Book from the MSA for £25. The outline regs for roll cage design are in the AWDC Safari Regs which can be downloaded FROM HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
