The reference to 38mm x 2.5mm being OK for pre '95 is K 1.4.1 a) in the 2016 blue book which is the latest one I have. Although I got
confirmation from the MSA about this I think the point for debate would have been evidence of approval in period. Rather than argue this point I
decided to construct a bar to the latest requirements. I went for the 50 x 2 option which was slightly lighter than the RAC bar which must have much
thicker walls.

I'm not sure how you would prove that it was approved prior to '95 but it surely would have to be fitted to car pre '95?
Could my friend with a pre lit westfield fit a 40mm roll over bar (made prior to '95) to his car? I presume it would need rear stays as per
post '95 requirements?
I suspect the car and cage would need to have been logged booked and scutineered prior to 95 together.
However - IMO- if they are going racing, a few hundred on a new cage is worth spending when it comes to safety. Not worth cutting corners to save a
few quid when it could save a life.
