MSA Compliant Cage

PostPost by: McFast » Sun Sep 22, 2024 4:53 pm

Hi,

My new to me S3 FHC has the full Spyder rollover bar, sill and foot box member installed. It was all installed during a restoration when a Spyder chassis was also installed.

Any ideas on what would need to be done to make this MSA compliant for track racing. Would I have to tear these out and replace with something like the Safety Devices cage.

Any pointers would be most welcome.

I haven't competed for a while but when I did, my cage needed an FIA sticker on it to confirm that it complied.

Could it be that?

Unless that cage is homologated then it will never be FIA compliant, even if it is as structurally sound as a compliant cage.
The new saftey devices cassette cage is designed for S1's and S2's where the roof is put on after the cage is inserted. I'm sure TTR ( and Kelvedon) have older cages that will fit a FHC and are compliant.
