Roll Cage - Schematic wanted.

Does anyone have a drawing of how the roll gage goes together on the challenge car. I have received a box of pipes with no drawing on how to weld them in! Hoping someone might have a schematic on how to fit this scaffolding kit together.

Any help welcome

Hello Bri,
What sort of detail do you need? Do you need something with dimensions, or are you desperate enough to be happy with a few photos of what is visible in my car? I could try and concoct something for you with a pencil, paper and tape measure, but my rollcage is in my part built car, so not everything will be accessible. Possibly John Reid (Readman Racing) might have something, or it looks like there's one of the ex TVR factory bods who's made Andy Holden (Holden Racing) a couple of Tuscan chassis, so maybe Andy might be able to source something for you, from him.
Do you have a bit more info on your car? Do you know much about the cars history? Is it going to be a TVR or Rover powered car? Race or road / trackday?

.....Rich

P.S. I Like the D-type by the way.

Rollcentre (Martin Short) have a jig for the Tuscan Challenge cage. You might be better off sending them your box of pipes and have them weld them into sub assemblies which you can then insert easily into the shell and weld in the remaining parts. Google is your friend for Rollcentre.....

Well to be honest, I had Martin sen me the bent pipes (Complete Roll Cage)with the intention of welding it in myself. But when you receive the box of pipes with NO diagram.... it's a good weekend.....not! I remember reading when you built your Sagaris race car Andy, how when you had to install your roll cadge and had to cut holes in the floor. And then you ask the questions....WHY, and I hope thats right. Anyway I have it all tacked in place now, so ready to go!

As for the engine getting fitted here it is

Are you bolting the cage in or welding it direct to the chassis to build a spaceframe ?

I fitted my shell to my chassis and then dropped the whole lot off in St Ives for Mr Short's people to do their thing. My suggestion was that Mratin's guys could have welded the front and rear sections for you, and then you'd have just needed to do the door and roof bars and it would have been easier to work the whole thing out. You'd have needed a much bigger box though!

Hoping for March next year. Working away from home slows progress. But getting there slowly. I'll keep you informed, not looking frward to the wiring though.
