samd35 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I am curently building a 100" comp safari racer and almost at the stage of fitting a roll cage! Can anyone recomend supliers and what spec is required as I am a bit confused about if I can use blue band or not? It will be used for AWDC events!

Mark90 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi Sam, there's a few of us local to you (Nailsea) who race with AWDC, and I know of someone else in Clevedon building and 100" comp safari racer. If you are looking to buy a cage, or have one fitted, rather then build from scratch I would look at.... http://www.whitbread-offroad.co.uk http://www.northoffroad.co.uk http://www.ppcages.com If you're looking at building then there is a lot of good info in the tech archive as white90 says.

Orange Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 You may already be planning to do so, but if you are starting from scratch, I would recommend making the cage MSA spec (or better) from the outset. Far easier than having to modify the cage later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Seems we do know the same person. Small world eh. The current car we race is CDS, but the old one that was rolled and is being rebuild is/was blue band, both are acceptable for MSA spec cages.
