Mickrick Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I know I could call CC, but I'm just thinking into the future as usual. But do CC do a full cage for the SV, that you can fit the weather gear over? And, what cost? The older I get, the faster I was!
Irrelevant Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Yep - they do a roadsport SV cage. £ots of lolly though.....£750ish + VAT IIRC. Should be on their website. Chances of a used RS cage are very small indeed.
mav Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I undrstood there was only one cage for the SV / CSR and that was the SLR type. I don't think the weather gear will fit with that cage. Current price is £745 + vat.
Powderpuff Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Didn't Rob Grigsby have one of these for sale recently? The name's Puff, Powder Puff N7XTC
mav Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 It's a very early (may have been the 1st) SV cage - owned by Miraz, made in 2001 I think by Safety Devices...
Mickrick Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 I've trolled through the web site, and can't see anything. I think it will stiffen the chassis considerably. The older I get, the faster I was!
Mickrick Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 Thanks PP But does that fit inside the weather gear? I'm sue I've seen one in the past, but probably on an S3. But I suppose that if they make one for S3, they'll make one for SV too The older I get, the faster I was!
mav Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Like I said, as far as I'm aware there is only one type of cage for the SV / CSR. That cage does NOT fit inside the weather gear...
Mickrick Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 Mmmm...thats a bit of an 🙆🏻 The older I get, the faster I was!
Mickrick Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Had an e-mail back from Darren last night. (CC must be busy, working on a Sunday night! ) Yes they do a Roasport cage for the SV. Go and get an apple from the basket Adam £745 + VAT. Good news! I know what Santa's bringing me. 😬 The older I get, the faster I was!
rgrigsby Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Just for completness the SV cage I have is actually a CAGED SLR hooped style cage, apparently all SV cages are made by CAGED rather than Safety Devices. Cheers Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com
chrisb Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 I have been asked to post this:- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC ONLY sell Roadsport SV cages. Neil has been researching it for a while. Hence Adam's knowledge. They have the 'SLR Style' hoops in the top, as all roadsport cages do now. Any 'proper' SLR SV catges that are kicking around will be custom made jobs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
chrisb Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Oh, and in response to the original question - does the weather gear fit: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To clarify, the Roadsport SV cage that CC sell will fit with standard SV windscreen, doors and roof. Any true 'SLR' style cage will not allow CC full doors, half doors or roof to be fitted without some significant modification. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edited by - chrisb on 19 Nov 2007 10:26:31
Irrelevant Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Neil has been researching it for a while. Hence Adam's knowledge. I saw it on Caterham's website, hence my knowledge Wrt SV SLR style cages, and just for the record, someone told me a CSR SLR style cage fits, although I don't know if this is true or not.
mav Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 There are 2 types of cage now available (I was not aware of this). The roadsport varient will allow the weather gear to be fitted. The SLR type won;t. The one Rob has is an SLR type.
Mickrick Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Just after a cage. I don't care what it's called. As long as the weather gear fits, which acording to CC, it does. The older I get, the faster I was!
rgrigsby Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 That's a slightly strange comment by Caterham, I'm not sure about Geoff's SV SLR cage but I know Nigel Bent SV had one which was through Caterham so they definetly did make them at some point. Robert Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com
Irrelevant Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 rgrigsby: Caterham made the SV SLR style cage for the SV based 'CSRs' that raced in that French race series in 2004.
rgrigsby Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Ahh ok that makes sense, so they don't make it any more. What do the CSR racers use then? a roadsport cage? Rob G www.SpeedySeven.com
