Hi Jules, The guy to go and see it Steve Maitland, Maitland fabricators, makes the majority of cages for all the waneroo race cars. Cost will depend on how many points the cage is, but it's damn expensive:(

If you want to go cheap then you can just buy a bolt in cage.

Jules , the CAMS and ANDRA specs are different and one cage will not be legal for the other unless the CAMS one is engineered.

pwptpf is right , Steve Maitland is good , on time and on budget.

Other places to try are Ballistic Racecraft ( Wangara I think ) and Guru Welding ( Carlisle )

Mark Bourne who is operating out at Fastlane in Wangara is another one.

Both Mark and Steve have done cages for me and Louie ( Guru's ) have done plenty for guys I know in Rallying

Cheers

Ken

Paul a few factors make it legal, material is the big one, CDS or cold drawn seemless steel is the easiest option to make a cage with, as chrome moly and ally need to be inspected and signed off by an engineer..

other than that the cams rule book describes in detail different cage designs and whats legal, you can add extra bar work in to your desire, but it must comform to the regs regarding clearances and the like..

as a side note a lot of the jap bolt in cages are not legal, and cusco are the only brand i can think of that make legal cages, but not all of there cage models are..

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
