These have a minimum of 8 point attachments.
Please note, HOWEVER – Because our roll cage will fit very closely to the body-shell it would be normal practice to weld the cage to the shell in at least an additional 8 or 10 places, (and sometimes many more) making a minimum of 16 points.
Our weld-in kits are supplied with all the parts you need to fit a roll cage.
All the tubes are pre-cut and profiled to fit.
They come complete with the footplates that get welded to the car, as well as all relevant gussets.
Fully certificated roll-cage designs give a distinct advantage over roll-cages constructed to minimum compliance as they are constructed using a small diameter / thinner gauge tube, thus giving a considerable weight saving.
Depending on the make & model, a fully certificated roll cage gives you the ability to compete in FIA International events and feature the following:
Please contact sales@customcages.co.uk for more details.
The roll cage will be made using the minimum MSUK prescribed tube sizes – thicker gauge than we would use in a certificated design, and, so (unfortunately) heavier.
Usually, these are manufactured from CDS (Cold Drawn Seamless) tube – ours is a high tensile material with a minimum tensile strength of 510 Mpa – although T45 can be specified at extra cost.
These cages are eligible for all MSUK events.

Your roll cage arrives shrink-wrapped in durable black plastic. And by the way, it is very heavy!
To compete in any race or rally your roll cage will need to comply with either MSA or FIA regulations. (Effectively, the MSA is governed by the FIA so if a roll cage design complies with FIA regs, then it is also eligible for MSA events). There are some instances where the FIA allows certain design features where the MSA do not (and vice versa).
The certification process generally allows for a lighter roll cage because it is a bespoke design where the diameter and thickness of each tube is optimised to achieve the overall strength required by the FIA/MSA rules.
In order to compete in MSA/FIA events every vehicle, which has a certificated design of roll cage, should have a copy of a valid certificate to present at scrutineering. Custom Cages has certified the majority of popular roll cages. All other roll cages comply with MSA/FIA regulations and receive a Letter of Conformity for competitors to present to scrutineers.
To obtain a certificate for a self-fit roll cage, the installer must complete a Custom Cages weld test.
Custom Cages’ roll cage kits include a weld test sample. Once completed these are returned to the company for load testing. They are subjected to a physical test to assess the actual yield strength of the weld. This ensures that the self-fit roll cages achieve the highest standards of integrity.
Additional samples may be requested.
Certificates will only be issued on completion of a successful test.
