Cage Fittings

[David Lynch]

Before I badger Darren, does anyone know the size of the 6 small caphead screws that fit old Safety Devices Roadsport cage to the dash flanges? For the rest of the cage it just looks like the later fixing pack ZRC06 will do? I'm hoping I have the correct cage as boot leg ends have a pair of webs rather than a solid bolt boss (as on my FIA bar)?

 

Also, anyone know the fittings associated with the old straight side impact bar SI02?

I used M6 bolts (though I think I had to ream the holes out a tad). I guess the correct size will be whatever common imperial bolt is just a bit smaller than 6mm.

What is a boot end? You sure you don't have a live axle cage?

Hi David,

 

I think you have a live axle cage there! The cage for a de dion car fits the same as the FIA bar...

It's easy to tell a live axle Safety Devices cage from a De Dion one. The live axle cages have a double diagonal across the back (like the latest FIA bars) while the de dion ones just have a single digonal.
