Roll cages

[Bobbygill]

just wondering guys, r roll cages legal to drive with on the street in a car, just a half cage?? thanks.

Full/half roll cages are legal to have, just make sure they meet ADR standards. Apparently the ADR standards aren't to hard to meet. There is a pdf file availiable, not sure where to find it, just PM deorbit as he knows where it is.

Umm actually I think they are pretty tricky to meet.

The main thing is that your head cannot be able to come in contact with any part of the cage. This means effectively that you have to remove the front hoops from any cage since there is no way to have a cage to the front that is not near your head.

Which leaves you with the rear part (normally 4 point half cage). This can be legal if you have no rear seats (ie registered as a 2 seater) and the roof hoop is far enough back that the driver cannot hit it when the seat is full baclk

From memory under Vic legislation there are padding requirements for all elements of the cage that can be contacted by the head/body.

:slap:

You avoid contact with head to roll-cage by using the required padding. So anywhere that a person's head can hit the roll-cage, you are required to put the padding.
