cage rules ?

[Peter Jones]

Thanks for the link Pete. Downloaded and saved.

If you liked that, the rest of the CAMS manual has it's own website here http://www.camsmanual.com.au/general.asp

I'm told there's a program to make the thing simpler but fir the moment it's a confusing document to figure out.

I am also doing a half cage in my car. I understand QLD requires mod plates and so forth, but we don't have that kind of thing in vic. Will i still neeed an engineers cert for a bolt in half cage in vic? by 5 point, are you refering to having 5 points where the cage is mounted to the floor?

Its BS a proper CAMS log booked cage does not pass a RWC in Vic due to the side intrusion bars and the a pillar bar...

Its a load of crap a side intrusion bar will save your life but wont pass a RWC

You won't find any arguments here.

how does it in any way affect the safety of a car (the side intursion bar)

It won't affect handling, braking, lighting structural rigity/strength in a negative way... lik wah... damn vicroads.

Probably because it makes it harder to get out of the car.

They do seem to be allowed but they can't be higher up than the seat cushion.

A cage makes getting you out of a wreck a damned sight harder. That's the primary reason for the restrictions.

But it will save ya life... Hmmmm do the math

It's generally a lot harder to get out of a crushed, cageless wreck than one that has kept a bit of structural integrity after a crash!
