A couple more i've got, i'll have some more soon, got the sides and rear panels on this weekend and the rear lights, so it's
starting to look like a bit like a car now lol
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

I feel compelled to ask a few questions. The Roll cage sure looks good in the pictures above and I can now see what is meant by the double bend.
I am also considering a roll cage on a second Haynes Roadster car I am in the process of building, and again for the same reasons as the original
poster, but would like to do some racing.
Anyway here is possibly where you knowledgeable ones could assist me understand more.
I have assumed our cars would be classed as Sports racing cars and as such really only need to have the rear roll bar, with a diagonal and either a
single back stay if the same diameter of the main loop 48.3 mm dia 2.6mm thick as min, or, the rear stays could be reduced to 26 mm 2.6 mm thick if
done with two. That additional reinforcing braces could be added?
So, if the bar loop is all that is required why does the extra front loop matter if added with double bends or not, or is it a case of once it becomes
a cage it must comply?
There was an additional MSA post in January that shows an additional brace that can be used if the front has a double bend, this can be found here:

Have I assumed the wrong class of car are they not Sports racing cars?

if its under 2000 cc all that is required is the hoop so the rest is additional safety that isnt required by the regs
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone
