Live axle imperial cage pls

have a look on eBay... there's a "Caterham Full Roll Cage to Fit Imperial Chassis" Opening at £150 with no bids to date.

 

Any good...?

I was just looking at that - looks like a dedion cage to me.

 

I'm pretty sure the live axel cages have triangular plates either side at the bottom of the rear hoop.

Would Bruce be able to modify it or are the dimensionally different in other areas?

There is a fair bit in the archives - cages are not interchangeable between dedion and live axle cars except the very early dedions where a live axle cage will fit.

 

CSkip was looking for one a while ago and I suggested he contact McMillan Motorsport in Hinckley as they support the race series. He managed to get one - might be worth a try.

 

They are incredibly rare. There was a Japanese seven in low flying a few years back that attached a front hoop to an FIA bar all in the thicker tubing. I posted a reply to this effect - just trying to find it.

typical - spend 10 mins trying to find a post to no avail - reply to something then find it!

I have the copy of low flying mentioned if you want the picture scanning.

I modifyed a DD cage to fit a live axle, but i have to say i run schockabsorbers without stem fixing at the top. The biggest mod. is in the 2 rearward tubes that have a different angle and different attachment point. DD cage has a fork fixing and the live axle has a bush fixing on the rear tubes. The front is exactly the same and i think the cage is even slightly taller than the FIA rollbar on my 7.

 

Another option would be to find a std live axle rollbar and a DD cage and mate the two together but then you will need to make the live axle rollbar higher because this is too low.
