Hi

I am looking to get into some motor sport with my Mini, looking to Motorkhana eventually, for personal peace of mind and personal safty, I would like to fit a type 2, Roll Cage as specified in Schedule J of the CAM regulations.

Would anyone have any recommendations as to who to see in WA?

Cheers
Adam

You really don't need a roll cage for motorkhana's, only 1st gear is ever used, but each to their own, if you want a roll cage go for it, don't expect much change out of $4000.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

Thanks for the reply doogie, i am pretty sure i will be doing other events besides motorkhana, where i do get out of 1st gear, and i fully expect it to be expensive.

I was hoping someone on here could give me a recommendation?

A full 6 point from Walker Chassis in Adelaide [ for an IPRA Race car to full Cams specs] cost $2400 ...& that was into a Honda Integra.

He has Quoted $1500 for a Type 3 ROPS into the Mini...to Cams Specs .

Pay more than $2000 for a Mini.... you are being ripped off.


You have never seen a car roll in 1st gear at a Motorkhana, Doogie???

Thanks for the info DA9jeff

I will keep Walker Chassis in mind.

What about a Safety Devices cage?

LF Performance do great work,
http://www.lfperformance.com.au/
but it will cost you for something like this:




There's always the option of a Bond cage for the budget end of the market.

That looks like some serious overkill right there!

Ditto! I am not sure if it will go fast enough to roll with the extra 1200kg of tube!

Shipping might be a killer!


that might be a bit much, but the work look great!

I will keep them in mind! thanks again.

Hi awdmoke
I was told about your cage so i had a look, thats one serious roll over cage the v8 super guys would be proud of that, but i have one serious question where are you going to hook your rear seat belts up to?

Just loop them over the horizontal bar behind the seat? Or is the angle or distance wrong?

It's not mine.
It belongs to Mica, one of the more serious racers over here.

I'll have a look next time I see it.
