Welded in cages are far superior to a bolt in cage. You are best to call CAMS and find out what they require. My cage which is CAMS/FIA approved required an engineers certificate from the manufacturer with detailed photo's of all the welds. I think you can still build your own cage but it has to be inspected and signed off by a CAMS approved engineer. A good roll cage can save your life, a poorly constructed cage is more dangerous than no cage at all. Jake

I need to buy a MIG welder to repair some bent panels, so fabrication is not a real problem, if I have a pattern/specifications to work to. What is the go on Cams approved roll cages for cars now presenting for a Log Book? Are there makers of "off the shelf" approved cages for old cars or can I fabricate one myself from approved (Reynolds?) chrome/moly tubing? If so, are there approved design specifications available that I can copy? Do roll cages now have to be welded in or can they still be bolted through the floor pan? I need to know this so I know if I can paint the interior first, or I must build a cage before painting. _____________________________________________________________ AutoSpeed - The World's Best High Performance Online Magazine http://www.autospeed.com --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
