starletezy Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Hi would anyone be clued up on if the cusco bolt in cages pass MSA regulations in two minds about getting a cage welded in or going for the cusco bolt in it will be for full track use so I know getting a proper welded in one is better but just curious if I could have an answer I would appreciate it cheers!!

RobSR Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 You'll need to check the regs, but from what i can remember previously dash dodger ones weren't. Id just go for a weld in if its an out and out track car. What series are you looking to compete in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 It 'might' pass scrutineering, from what I've read. If you're competing properly you'll want something a bit more adequate, but if it's just a track day car then a well fitted Cusco cage will be sufficient. Mine went to Custom Cages and they did a great job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine went to Custom Cages and they did a great job.Was looking at the MSA rule book and it said nothing about bolt in cages so just was wondering. Will be doing time attacks and many track days along with that read also it has to be to FIA standards so the bolt in is out of the window. was getting my cage done from custom cages! glad to hear some good feed back!

TimD Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Taking it serious if it needs to meet FIA regs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Taking it serious if it needs to meet FIA regs! Its getting built from bare shell up so it is a pretty serious build has to be 100% when meeting MSA and FIA standards going to be fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 As was mine, it's not FIA didn't see much point going that far. Club level motorsport doesn't require FIA, and that's the only place the car will be competitive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) You can do some classes of Time Attack without a cage. What class you planning on entering? If it 100% needs to conform to FIA regs like you say surely you know a bolt in cage won't lol. Be interesting to see your build.
