How old a Roadsport cage? Safety Devices/Arch Diagonal or Caged/Caterham Dee ??

 

I must remember that I'm in public

[FTH]

6 years old, "safety devices"

I'll pass ta, need to lower floor first ☹️ BTTT on me

AFAIK the Caged ones and the standard SD ones are the same height.

 

The reason Caged ones might look taller with driver in is that they were only supplied with cars with lowered floors - i.e. Academy 04 onwards.

 

SD did a "tall" cage but Caged have/do not, I guess as all the racecars now have lowered floors so you would need to be very tall indeed to need a lowered floor and a tall cage. I know of one special order Caged one that is slightly higher than standard, but I expect this to be the priciest option.

Ive been told mine is a tall one, will post pics to anyone interested.

Hi FTH

 

How much and what year car is it for ?

I have an 89 dedion - dont think it will fit - will it ????

Its on a 2001 dedion, looking to replace it with FIA bar and JJ hood, so that puts it at approx £300

[FTH]

The vertical dim from mounting plate behind seat to underside of the top of the cage is 410mm.

 

[Archie Procter]

which does indeed mean you have a 'tall' cage. These are rare in comparison to the standard SD cages and a lot more expensive - new price (if you can still get them, which I doubt) is 700 quid inc the VAT

 

In reasonable condition I would suggest its value is 350-400, I have never seen one of these go for less than 350.

*thumbup*Thanks for that.

[simonbell]

Thanks for photo and dimensions, I am not convinced by how the tall cage looks so I'm going to hold off and go for a std cage with lowered floors.

Anyone want to swap an FIA bar and a JJ half hood for a roadsport cage?

 

i have a 95 live axel car with lowered flooring. i think this would gave would fit, but have you got a photo or 2? Any dimensions available?

 

I have a spare FIA bar, but what is a JJ half hood?

 

If swapping is not an option what are your options for sale please?

 

 

Cheers

I will send you info this evening.

[Archie Procter]

Simon, sorry but this type of cage won't fit a live axle, the rear arms of the later DD cage go into the chassis behind the driver/passenger and bolt through there. LA ones have a mounting plate at the base of the cage's rear arms, and sit on top of the chassis at the bulkhead.

[FTH]

Still available

[simon redshaw]

Have acquired a roll cage ta.
