New roll cage getting fitted
Discussion
The cage is made from chromoly and being made to MSA spec with the design and details having been approved by the head engineer at MSA.
It looks a mess at the moment but I am sure it will come together nicely.
The cage should be finished this weekend and then the car goes next door to have all the fibreglass work sorted.

Are you fitting diagonals and rear belt support bar across the back
It will just be a typical 6 point with a door bar. The door bar has to pass between my shoulder and elbow but we are going to have it drop as low as we can as soon as possible. Basically so I can squeeze my lard ass in there.Anchor points will be added for the harness. I am not sure if there will be a bar across the back of the seats yet.

Wow Derek, that should also massively stiffen up the chassis, I'd be really interested to know the effects it has on handling.It looks a mess at the moment but I am sure it will come together nicely.

Not the most practical structure for everyday use of course, but clearly you need to do this for some sort of racing regs?
We are all massive fans of your racing career and achievements on the strip so keep the posts and results coming
Personally I've got nothing but admiration for your continual commitment in the face of countless setbacks, more power to your NoS powered elbow mate

Its going to be a scarily quick car if you are fitting a yaw sensor/accelerometer on the tunnel. It looks a mess at the moment but I am sure it will come together nicely.

as I posted in random pic's you may not have seen it. I have never seen an MSA/FIA cage with out a diagonal to stop cage from flattening in the event of a roll over. You can clearly see the Diagonals on this MSA / Fia cage. Could be they have allowed you not to have them. You should get a signed drawing approval from MSA that goes with your cage once they have passed the design which will be useful at scrutineering sometimes

will you be able to get cage out to paint it ?
It's going to be welded in Pel.David will protect the welded areas to the chassis before sending the car next door to have the fibreglass repaired.
We decided last night to fit a swing out bar in the doorway as access is going to be tight as you can see here.
