I have a 1986 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 track car that was a tin top race car in it's previous life. I'd like to try a stage rally or two (tarmac single venue) but the cage is only 1.5" tubing - it's stickered up as a Safety Devices cage but I've no way to confirm the make/model as I've got no paperwork.

According to a copy of the Blue Book I found online - the minimum requirement for stage rallying is 1.75", unless "approved prior to 1.1.95" does anyone know if there is any way of approving a 1.5" cage for stage rallying without paperwork to back it up?

It is a 6 bolt in cage that has been beefed up a little - welded cross door bars, welded rear triangulation, welded harness bars, welded bar between B-pillars along the floor and bolted roof bars all bolted + welded to chassis plates. If it is an option to get the cage approved I am also looking into including the front turrets.

Edit: Forgot to mention it does have a log book, but only for sprints & hill climbs.
