Half Roll Cages

[Adz2332]

Short quickie question.....

Are half roll cages legal for a street car in SA??

I asked a cop and he said they wouldnt defect them unless your head could come into contact with them....

But doesnt mean its legal or not...

anyone had any experiance with them

Speak to a roll cage place as they should know. Rear seat belt holes need to be welded up and the cage designed properly. Will also need to be rego'd as a 2 seater.

I have seen walker chasis work and it's bloody awesome. It's where I'll be going to later on.

Ok cheers ill get onto them! thanks!

afaik they are street legal providing the stuff Luke mentioned above is done. a good example is the Clubsport pack for 911 GT2/GT3 with the street legal half cage.

car should be registered as a two seater with no rear belts or points. i am going through the process so can let you know the outcome next month.

has to be padded, and has to be 100mm from the back of the seat at its most rearward position or something.

It's legal, yes, but must be registered as a 2 seater.

And all the shit in the back has to be welded up. And cover the rest of the shit in padding. And make sure the shit is all good.

Shit yeah.

Just expect to be pulled over every 10 minutes and questioned.

as far as i knew they have to be bolt in to be street legal and get through regency.

My mate had on in his 180 and they would not let him through unless it was a bolt in cage.

Also you will find that only a coupe can be registered as a 2 seater, if you have a 4 door you will have to make the fix the rear doors. Every thing else is correct except they can be weld in, and you have to have 150mm head clearance to the roll cage with the seat in it's rear most position.

and this is the most correct thing said in here;

Just expect to be pulled over every 10 minutes and questioned.

Shit yeah.
