Roll cage padding

[Order66]

Merlin seem to indicate that this stuff:

is MSA approved. Anyone confirm I could race with it?

If its for UK based club racing then yes that stuff will do.

Except where FIA approved padded is required.

I'd recommend you get the FIA stuff, it works better and safer.

Anything else is posh pipe insulation

You would break your arm on the FIA stuff ROFL. Padding it aint...

Padding it is. The whole idea is that it will cushion your head from hitting the roll cage.

And other body parts...legs, elbows etc etc

I'd hope the helmet would largely protect the head, but the foam will add further protection all round

Just to update this. I bought the padding as above. Terrible terrible stuff. Really, don't. I think pipe lagging would be more effective. Will order and install the FIA stuff and somehow figure out how to make it work on the curved bars.

The duct tape I used to attach it is probably doing most of the work.

I use the longacre padding

its probably the best compromise between FIA padding for on track with a helmet, and protection when road driving without a helmet
