Roll cage for book chassis - wanted
Mike Wood - 5/4/26 at 04:43 PM

Any bolt on rear roll cages for a book chassis out there please? UK motorsport compliant tube spec, main hoop, rear brace tubes, diagonal plus a harness mounting tube. Similar to this, but with a horizontal upper harness mounting tube: https://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php?action=showphoto&photo=IMG_6074.jpeg

Perhaps one from an old 750 Motor Club racer when they just ran rear roll cages or one from Aries Motorsport/STM.

Before I get the tape measure out, draw a design, get it made up in cut and bent kit form from Tube Bender and find someone in Scotland to weld it up.

Thanks
Mike

You may find the MK Indy one will fit as the Indy and book chassis was the same .

But please check before buying

Shame you're not located a bit closer, else I'd have said to pop by and I'd bend one for you there and then..

Thanks Steve, that’s a very kind thought. I might pop down the M6 if I draw a blank!

Best wishes
