Matthew Willoughby Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I don't know if this here is still for sale. Might be worth an email? It is slightly different in design to the one that was previously fitted to your car but is identical to the one that did such good job for Ian yesterday. Viper blue and red Roadsport A.

Archie Procter Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 You need a 'Caged' cage - either that slightly curved outer bars style from 04 and 05 Academy cars or the D-hooped one fitted to the 06 ones. Earlier cages like the one Matthew linked to are not suitable for the post-04 chassis, and metric ones (07 on) won't fit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petefoster Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks for the posts guys, but still looking BTTT *arrowup* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leedsy Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I have a full roll cage that may fit, it's off a 56 plate academy car. No expert only recently purchased my first Caterham. If you still need one i can get a couple of pictures to you - Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Willoughby Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I suspect a 56 reg car would be from the 2007 Academy which ran metric chassis cars so the cage wouldn't fit ☹️ Viper blue and red Roadsport A. Speed Championship blog here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 *arrowup*it would indeed be metric and therefore unsuitable. Come to think of it one of our former racers was selling his 05 cage on ebay recently and ISTR it didn't sell. His car's original advert is still on the Grads site here - might be worth an email or call? It was up at £325 starting price on ebay.

Matthew Willoughby Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Pete, This is what you're after here. I know a place that could powdercoat it black for you for £40. Viper blue and red Roadsport A. Speed Championship blog here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 that's the less desirable 2006-only hooped version, the last imperial one before they went metric for 07. Seller has a few other race bits for sale, looks like he's converting a race car for road use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petefoster Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 Thanks Matthew, It went for a song £230....missed the finishing time *redface* mind you i had that one on the car before i took it off and sold it and its a pig to get in and out of I was rather looking for a tall cage with the single diaganol, so its easy to get in and will be away from the head when not wearing a helmet on the road....so if anyone has one of those *biggrin* I plan to live for ever...so far so good!!!

Archie Procter Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Pete - as per my email a few weeks ago in response to your enquiry re my tall cage, a Safety Devices tall cage is not really suitable your chassis as you do not have the triangular section at the front for the 'lugs'. The only tall cage you could (safely) use is a custom-made one, unless you want to try to modify either car or cage - if you do, I know where there is another one available and can put you in touch with the seller. The 04-05 Caged cage with the curvy bars and single diagonal was never made in anything other than standard height, except by special order. Of which I've seen a total of 1...

Z3MCJez Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I've been in touch with Caged and a tall cage will be c. £650 for the Roadsport design or £700 for the Superlight design. I don't remember if that's incl. VAT or not Fitting is £100 for the Roadsport or £150 for the Superlight. Delivery as an alternative would be about £40. I'm looking to get a tall cage for next year, but not currently clear whether it would be legal. That's with the regs writers at the moment. More annoyingly, the Superlight cage wouldn't be, as with 10 mounting points (as opposed to 6) it offers more structural rigidity. Notwithstanding that it both looks better and is probably safer (it has side intrusion bars on both sides). Jez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petefoster Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Thanks Jez I'm surprised that the superlight cage is not permitted in the rules, are we really saying safety of the driver isn't paramount *eek* , lets face it the BHP won't change in fact the car should be slower with all that extra weight of the cage.
