Roll Cage/Hoops - Any new designs?

[motul1974]

Hey folks, I looked into this over a year ago and was at that time left very uncertain as to road safety of fitting one of the many designs as it seemed more than likely that a unprotected head was likely to be in contact with the metal work if getting involved in a crash.

Ian at sportmotive said he was working on something, that doesn't appear to of materialised, although admittedly I've not contacted him in many months, but there's certainly no mention of it on his web site.

Is anyone aware of anything ultimately suitable to be used in a predominantly road used car?

Qbee - so are you still adding the padding to the hoop??

It's that kind of hoop design I like, it's just I'd want sore lateral support such as the Neil Garner one below;



I've only just asked Neil for the latest price on this.

..now you mention it, it does look like it's sitting low. :-(

Just checking out TVREngineer......looks like he'd add what ever I wanted to hoops,within reason of course.

Their nice design, just I'd like to see some diagonals and the two hoops attached to each other, or am I being unnecessary?

I'm off to intatrim this Friday to look at their oddesey 11 seats. I believe these will get me lower in the cab, as well as offering increased support.
