Hi all,

I've had a weld in CAMS spec roll cage fitted by Walker Chassis here in SA - now the car is a rolling shell at the moment but i know i need to get the cage approved by CAMS.

HOW do I go about this? I went into the CAMS office here in Adelaide with my paperwork from Walker Chassis, however they were not very helpful...

I'm also planning on getting the interior painted soonish and wondering if this needs to be approved before its painted.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

-Matt

Follow the below link and click on the safety cage registration form on the bottom right. As far as i am aware you fill out this form and send it along with your log book paperwork and they will process it.

Good luck.

Hi there, i was extremely happy with walker's roll cage, I believe he hadn't done one before in a cefiro and took on the job without any hassles. I've been in contact with him again to get some more work done and again - no worries, and quite happy. I just need to sort out the appropriate certification to go with it now.

I had a look at the link and still kinda confused as to what I need to do next.

I dont have a CAMS log book - so I'm thinking i need to apply for one, but i'm not sure what class etc (cefiro RB26/30).

Also I have a completed hard copy of the safety cage registration form already (this is what I tried to take to CAMS in Adelaide...) just unsure what i do with it or where / who to send it to.

Sorry if these are stupid questions,

Thanks

I thought that logbooking the car was the process of getting the cage approved (that's the main thing they look at with logbooks). Didn't know there was a separate "cage approval" process.

Mind you, it's many years since I've logbooked a car, and I know that some things have changed.

I would get it logbooked as soon as possible, as CAMS have a habit of changing regs, and what complies with their regs this year may not comply ext year. Once it's logbooked, it only needs to comply with the regs that were relevant at the time of logbooking.

Hey Matt, cams approve a roll cage by log booking your car. when you log book the car you are assigned a class.

assuming the ceffie is rwd you have 2 choices - production sports cars or sports sedans. read both sets of regs and decide which one works best for you - but I think you will probably need to go sports sedan because if you want to race it you would need to choose a category that is active over there.

Once your car meets these regs you get the rollcage paperwork and the log book application, get the cage builder to sign the paperwork, and send it all to CAMS. They then send you back a log book and you need to organise for "pre-race scruitiny" where someone comes out and makes sure the car complies with the regs. Then you are right to go.

Thanks Duncan for the helpful explanation :down:

I will just continue to build the car and once it's back together arrange a CAMS scrutineer to attend and tell me what else is required to make it approved.

I think I will have to be sports sedan but I will read it and confirm.

My cage builder has completed the CAMS paperwork already, so I guess it's up to me to get the car back together now.

Thanks again

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
