Full cage/windscreen support.
iwbunting - 18/5/04 at 07:49 PM

Has anyone ever attempted fitting a full roll cage as against the single roll bar.I was thinking that this could also aid the fitting of the windscreen (held in front roll bar) and also the fitting of an all weather hood which could be supported by the cage.

Any ideas.What about SVA,would it pass ??

Good idea but would a be more of an arse to get in and out of...

Hi
Probably a bit over the top for what your thinking but Rescued attachment caterham.jpg

I was thinking od a simple loop over the screen running down to the chassis and joined to the rear roll bar by a single overhead tube running front to back that could also support a roll down wet weather shield when fitted.Extra strength might be an added bonus,or not ?

Any thoughts ???

I have a full cage on my indy as I may want to race at some point, initially I thought it would look silly but when I saw the same cage on a fully built car I really liked it. There are some pics in my photos section.

Bear in mind though it does add extra weight.

Rich.

Why not integrate the windscreen into the roll cage like they do on the Bowler and Tomcat Racing Land Rovers?.

Sorry for the bandwidth / piccy.
