Roll Cages Legal In Wa?

[Scratch]

Hi,

Does anyone know if roll cages (both front bars and rear bars) are street legal in WA ? I heard from some sources that they were and yet others say only rear bars are legal... does anyone know the full story?

Cheers!

To the best of my understanding you can have a rear cage if the car is registered as a 2 seater.

Does anyone know FOR SURE (not "I think") if the pits will pass a full cage that doesn't hinder your legs while getting out of the car, but does go through the dash?

Also has anyone here actually registered a car with a half cage as a 2 seater? Do they require the rear seats to be in or out?

Why dont you just ring DPI and ask?

[Brockas]

Because they don't want to give a consistant answer. I've been told that they don't do full cages, that they will only do a 2 seater with a half cage if the rear seats aren't fitted, and they don't do a 2 seater with a half cage if the rear seats aren't fitted.

3 different people, 3 different answers.

I am sure they will have documentation on it - ask them to mail it to you.
