rollcage

[hardenup]

When reading rules in regards to rollcages in comps,mainly winch challange,where rego is required to compete,it says a 6 point rollcage is to be installed inside a GQ wagon.
The question I ask is,is it suppose to run down the A pillar as well,as this wagon is driven everyday and if this is the case it will not comply with QLD transport rules.
I gather that this area is a grey area.
What is evryone else doing in regards rollcages and rego'd trucks?

Kind regards.

You sure this doesn't comply with QT? I no the cage has to be mod plated and you can't have a dash bar or side intrusion bars as part of the cage.

I had a 6 point roll cage in my SWB before the ute chop and it was all legal... mod plate (prior to my ownership) in QLD

The "A" pillar bars are completely legal once you have them properly mod plated for the state that you have the vehicle registered in.

Thank you to all to whom responed.
I asked the question is because,I was going through a very large book (ADR rules) i have and it states>

"Six-point" rollcages that have supports running down the "A" pillars and "B" pillars,and braces running to the rear are not acceptable for normal road use as the forward supports are likely to constitute an injury risk to front seat occupants in a crash.They typically decrease visibility for the drive and usually prevent he correct positioning of sunvisors.

Registration Authorities may allow the use of a "six-point' rollcage for competition purposes.
However in these cases the vehicles to which they are fitted have restited access to the road system or are conditionally registered. (club rego)
Persons who wish to fit a "six-point rollcage for competition or other purposes must consult with their Registration Authority for further information.

Well,I did and tthey will not allow 'sixpoint cages inside a rego'd car,and those who do plate these cage do so at their own risk.(if in an accident and someone injured, they can sue you and the the mod plater,as the vehicle is deemed unroadworthy) an your not insured.

Maybe i will have to go club rego and buy another daily driver if this is the case.
Thank-you for your response.

Kind regards. [/b]

Your cross bracing behind the drivers navi's seat has to bolt in and out and most of the cage needs to be padded.

thank-you I will go with the flow.
Thank you Ludacris for that.
I shall be in touch.

Kind regards

is it possible to get club rego still?

[hardenup]

So i have been told,similar to rally cars that are rego'd

[toughnut]

Thats interesting on the "A" pillars. I had absolutely no probs and the guy that does mine also does a lot of mine vehicles that all have rego and are complianced. I have padding on every bar that isn't either behind the dash or behind the seats. Oh and a mate of mine has a drag car that is club rego'd Its awsome cruising in that little puppy

the above is DOT legal/approved, however a CAMS cages are impossible to get approved street legal in QLD because of the side intrusion bars that must be fitted.

It say that they are made to Dot approval,doesnt say they are approved.

[eliteforce32]

thats because you have to have the cage fitted then go get it modded, superior engineering does not handle blue plates etc

[hardenup]

mmm thats correct,i was told he doesnt have an engineer to certif his work-you find your own,that cool
I have found a few places that will do it all-so drop car off and everything completed for not a bad price.
Pays to shop around they say.
The other thing is before i do this,i have to find out a little more about cages that you have to have to be able to do outback,and i know that a CAMS cage,but if you have the cage like that,will you be able to run in other comps when they say DOT approved,as they are different.

Thanks kind regards

bear in mond there are different CAMS classes, best to get the specs from CCDA and take them to DOT or an engineer and have a chat and find out what can be done legally, down here different engineers are comfortable engineereng different things based on there specialities, some will do the big lift but wont do the 35" tyres etc
