Phat bob, is the man:nod:
Not only cos he is the scrutineer for D1, so he decides whether ur cage is good enough for drifty fun.
Top bloke as well :thumbs:
Someone mention me?:D
I'm not on here to sell cages, and while there were cars in D1GB this year that had mine in them, most did not. The car that Kev had a hand in the preparation of for example.
Theres lots of people out there doing cages it seems, I think its because Safety Devices played themselves out of the market:indiff:

Bob, am I right in thinking that the D1 cages have to be some strange incommon diameter?!
Oh and happy birthday, t'other day :thumbs:

The D1GB materials are pretty much FIA/MSA specification, Japanese regs are unknown to me, but as I understand them they allowed things like stainless steel , which is not a good idea.
Imagine the brittle material that they make knives from being around you when you crash:eek:
Yeah well the birthday had to come around eventually...

lol!
I knew about the material, well not the SS, how :ghey: is that!! I just heard that D1GB cages had to be a funny, larger than standard diameter or something? closer to drag cars than rally iirc :confused:

The main hoop is 42mm for 2.5mm wall or 50mm for 2.0mm wall.
Personally I went for the 50mm hoop material on mine, it gives me something bigger to hold onto when I push the enginless car around.:D
As Bob says, the regs are pretty much straight MSA regs:)
Never heard a bad word said about u Bob:thumbs:
probably means ur a gangster:wack:
Isnt the Jez cage apropriate for D1 with door bars?

Infact there are photo of the work he done for me on his site, the second one in the rollcage section and more!
Looks good, what car is that BTW?
Its horses for courses though, if you want a fully welded in cage that triangulates and massively improves the chassis then Rathbone, Hauser et al are your people.
If all you want is a bolt-in job that will save your neck when you roll the car and get t-boned then its a different game.
FIA approval can be little more than a costly form filling exercise, you submit the drawings to the governing body with a cheque, an engineer checks the drawings and provides a certificate. I know with things like International FIA approval its a slightly different issue with inspections of welds and materials.
Its a jag XJ6 mate, he hase done a 99reg S-type and a 02 X-type for us too.
