Rear roll bar (rear cage) for STM Locost?
Hi
Anyone got a rear roll bar (rear cage) for a Stuart Taylor Motorsport Locost please that was made to RAC MSA/MSUK spec cluttering up their garage or
shed? Nice and high, just like: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dgmsp/5301448684/in/photostream/
Thanks
Mike

Happy for the thread revival. Procomp Motorsport would have been an option for a full race cage MSUK approved but unfortunately Matt is no longer with
us.
I am investigating the option of getting Tubebender to supply tubes to my drawings for a rear cage and then getting this locally welded by a rally car
preparation company (I am in SW Scotland), using tube spec and design that will meet UK regs for hillclimbs and sprints. See:
https://tube-bender.co.uk/
Cheers

Hi Mike
Thanks for your reply I’ll have a look at the tube benders site
It would probably still be helpful if someone could chime in with dimensions for a Stuart Taylor rear cage, I know I’m being really hopeful here
))))
Cheers

I would certainly recommend Tube Bender, they did mine to measurements and it was on my doorstep within a week. Great price, and done with the correct
spec steel. I even went back to them for some exhaust bends.

If Mike wood gets some measurements to Tube benders jcsh can just reorder the same.
From experience the measuring is actually quite easy, just get everything over length. Then once you have the tubes with the car you can then take
your tone to cut it to the correct size, fish mouth the end with the correct angles and get the welder out.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
