Rollcages

[*ALL-DAY*]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if it is possible to build your own rollcage and have it checked and certified to pass CAMS regulations?

Or does it have to be built by a certified CAMS rollcage builder?

Any info on this would be great,

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure it can be built by anyone, just needs to be up to CAMS specs.

You can get them passed by CAMS for a cage built by anyone, but in doing so, you do need to have all of the correct material purchased etc. It's not just any old tube that will do.

They also need to be built to the correct design.

Okay thanks guys.

Do you know if i'll be able to find the relevent information on the CAMS website? i had a quick look this morning but didn't see anything.

Thanks

It can be built yourself and certified by CAMS that's no problem.

Expect to be asked for an invoice for the material you used as proof and possibly an MDS (material data sheet) if you get a strict scruitener to inspect it.

They will check for 360 degree welding, base plate dimensions and fixings, bend radius' and intersection locations.

As well as shedule compliance and category requirements.

All the regulations are in the online cams manual under shedule J.

Be warned though if it's not 100% chances are it won't get approved and the expense to cut it out and do it properly

is alot more than paying someone to do it right the first time around.

It's not hard if your competent with a welder and have access to the right equipement
