Plus2 roll cage

[desprit dan]

Can any of you guys advise me regarding approved spec for a roll cage that I am building for my plus2, specifically the pipe dia ,wall thickness, steel type; I might as well try and get it right first time!

Had a bit of a look round on the 'net, it would appear that the main frame is 45-50mm, the wall thickness is 2.5mm (12g) and it can either be cold drawn steel or t45, if the latter, then it can be thinner tube; any input would be appreciated.

Hi Dan
Paul Matty has actually a racing +2 for sale which has a roll cage. Just ask him or the seller of the car.

By "approved" do you mean approved by the MSA? In which case you ought to look at the specifications in the MSA Blue Book.

Hello, yes approved by the governing body FIA MSA (not sure which is which!) I'm only building this car for a bit of fun, but that may include the odd track day, or even a hillclimb event, so I wanted to get it right; I had hoped that someone here had already "been there and done it", and I could pick their brains; Yes Willy I have seen pictures of the car in question, definately an inspiration!
