Grahame W Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 For those of us running the earlier de dion Caterham cage with straight side bars and an overhead diagonal does anyone know ifa this design fully meets the requirements of the blue bookb who was the original manufacturer in the hope a retrospective homologation sticker might be obtainableThanksGrahame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmar Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 i though SD did all the cages until caged came into the equation, could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Grahame. I am sure that Safety Devices did those type of cages. My cage is the saem as you describe and it is a SD cage. Like Chris I phoned them a few months ago, they identified the cage (mine had a serial number on the left dashboard mounting point) and provided a replacement sticker very quickly. Great service from SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comp Sec Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 the cage is acceptable as being of smaller dimensions than stated in the blue book if it has the homologation sticker on it as this indicates that its design has been proven to be acceptable by calculation and approval by the MSA.if you do not have a sticker then you need to contact safety devices with the serial number which is stamped on it together with photos from all angles of the cage and the cross in the middle of the read of the cage.if they can find the original certificate for my live axle should be a doddle for yours providing you can find the serial number, and it is undamaged and unmodified.

Grahame W Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks for help and advice I thought it was an SD cage as well so will get camera out tomorrow and contact SD with the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ford Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Is it a single diagonal at the rear, or an "X"? Single diagonal = SD, X = Caged, I believe. Later Caged ones had twin hoops on top, but the earlier ones had a diagonal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame W Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Single diagonal at rear as well as across the top so looks like everyone is homing in on SD as the manufacturerWill see how they respond to images and request Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
