a roll cage is something that you should be able to trust with your life.
it should be made by a competent person who knows about the construction of cages , the type of pipe to be used, the correct way to bend the steel ect ect dont be a tight arse go and get it done professionally.you may rely on it one day!
i know what im talking about , after a heavy rollover last year my cage never moved a bit . and i am thankful for its strength.

Julian CCDA rules are more stringent than Cams.

sorry for the half hijack, but been looking at getting a cage in the near future I got LWB GQ, do you think I should go 8point cage in as it still gets used as daily driver? Or just 6?

Ludacris, was just thinking about rear stays on a six point interfering with the rear passenger seats? Whereas eight point would affect the passengers at all?
Thanks for your help.

Anyone from NSW doing a cage check with the RTA. The no fun Nazi's decided that rollcages were dangerous (go figure) and you need some type of permit, no doubt with another charge on it as well.
Spend the bucks and get it done properly. I used to pilot a rally car, and God forbid you'll ever need one, but when you do, there aint no second chances.
Now if only we could convince them to book every one with one of those stupid bloody things hanging from the rear view mirror we might get some where.
