SVA at the dreaded Southampton, real picky outfit. My first fail was because my roll bar was 42mm, and it had to be 45mm or more. Grrrrrrr! Happy now
though. Chippy

The 45 to 50mm only applies if your seat belts are attached to it, if not 38mm should be fine. Chippy

Where is that in the SVA manual? I don't recall ever reading that. surely it depends on the thickness of the steel used? 38mm 3mm steel is going
to be stronger than 45mm .5mm steel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm asking cause mine will be in excess of the RAC blue book but less than 40 mm (i think, can't remember now but its 3mm steel instead of
2.5mm)

If you look at the SVA manual under seat belts, (I didn't), you will find the reference to the size of the roll bar. It reads as follows:
Note.
For guidance roll cages should idealy be manufactured of CDS steel tube dia 45mm x 2.5mm wall thickness OR 50mm x 2.0mm wall thickness. Bend radius
should exceed 3 times the tube diameter. Where tubes are ovalised during bending, the ratio d/D should not be less than 0.9 ( d = small diameter, D =
large diameter. Hope that helps. Regards Chippy.
As I understand it this only applies if the seat belts are attached, in some manner, to the roll bar>
