The Custom Cages Alfa Romeo 145 Multipoint CDS is a Weld-In Roll Cage ideal for use in Hillclimb’s, Sprints, Track days, Time attack, and more. Your roll cage will arrive shrink wrapped in durable black plastic and will include:
- CNC formed tubes for the main hoop, A pillar hoops etc with square and profiled ends are necessary.
- Straight tubes with profiled ends ready for welding into place.
- Set of footplates.
- Check list (every tube has an identifying sticker) so you can be sure you have a complete kit (we will have already have checked that you have the right tubes twice before the kit is packed).
- Instructions sheet.
- CD showing the fully fitted roll cage.
Cage Type:
- FIA Compliant
- MSUK Compliant
- Multipoint
Multipoint (weld-in) roll cage:
- Traditionally these would be a ‘6-point’ design and significantly simpler than most ‘multi-point’ cages.
- Keeping to the spirit of the period is the key to most of the designs, which is why we try to replicate the original geometry.
- Current FIA regulations (Appendix K) allow for effectively full modern cages, but these often don’t reflect the designs of the day.
- Weld-in cages are perfectly acceptable and legal, although the number of fixings and mounting points is restricted.
Multipoint (weld-in) roll cage:
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.
Weld-in roll cage kit:
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.
FIA / MSUK Compliant Cages:
The roll cage has been made to the FIA prescribed tube sizes. This means the cage was made to comply with all the current regulations. These cages are eligible for all FIA sanctioned events.
MSUK Compliant – See our ‘National’ range:
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
A roll cage design must comply with the MSA/FIA technical regulations published in the MS UK Blue book. It is the competitor’s responsibility to ensure his/her roll cage complies with the technical regulations appropriate to the event they are competing in.
