Excuse my ignorance, will the cage from the Orange 7 above fit a live axle 2001 7 please?

Hi, no worries about ignorance, I spend my life asking these chaps questions that I should probably know!

From what I have learnt the live axle cars have a different cage so the answer is probably no.... although someone else might answer with a little more confidence!

A de dion cage doesn't fit a live axle car.

The live axle car has large plates on the feet of the rear hoop, the rear stays are different lengths and so dont fit in the bracket on the rear basket, the rear diagonal is at a different angle.

I mod'd a de dion cage to fit my live axle fire blade and moved the rear stay brackets upwards on the rear basket. I took this route because the live axle cages appear to be like hens teeth second hand.

Thankyou, I seem to have the standard rollbar.. Hmmm I'd like to obtain a decent FIA for it to feel a drop safer!

Yes I have one Recently powder coated (black) S3 imperial chassis single diagonal type roll cage. It has had the dash plates removed so may not be race legal but a much neater installation for road use, the powder coating is good but it has one small dent on the driver’s side rear hoop which can just be seen in image 1 where the cross bar meets the hoop. Comes complete with the shallow rear bolts, an assortment of head restraint ‘bits/brackets’, a L7C sticker and padding. £200 cash please, will need collecting or I may be able to deliver/meet up within a reasonable distance of GU15 or West London. ETA this cage can be used with a windscreen fitted - I will try and upload an image when I get home tonight.



p.s. It does not come with the SIPB
