FITTING OF ROLLCAGE
1
Preparation – Body Sides
NOTE:
The initial fitting of the rollcage is a two
person job. It is not recommended trying on
your own.
1
Where the front of the rollcage secures,
there are two fixings on each side of the
car (Fig 2.2). There are tube inserts
welded into the chassis. Located under
the scuttle for these fixings (Fig 1.1).
1.1
2
Drill a 5mm pilot hole through the
center line of the insert and through the
body work from inside the footwell, use
the inserts as a guide. Take care to
center the drill bit to the insert.
3
From the outside, enlarge the pilot hole
to 11mm using the pilot hole and chassis
inserts as a guide.
4
Repeat the process for the other side.
NOTE:
The hole is drilled from the outside of the
body to prevent the gel coat from chipping.
5
Drill two 5mm pilot holes from inside
the body through the side impact bar
fitted earlier in chapter five, be carefull
to center the pilot hole to the impact
bar. (Fig 1.2).
1.2
6
From the outside enlarge the holes to
11mm.
7
Locate from your parts two M10x90mm
setscrews along with two M10 standard
washers.
8
Place the washers on to the setscrews
and partially insert in to the center
rollcage sleeves. (Fig 1.3).
1.3
9
Fit two spacers on to the setscrews.
10
Repeat the process for the other side.
2
Positioning – Rollcage
1
Insert two M10x75mm setscrews on
one side, from inside of the chassis in
the holes drilled in section 2&3 of the
previous section.
2
Fit a spacer on to each bolt to stop the
body being squashed when tightening,
position the bolts so they are flush with
the side panel for now.
3
Repeat the process for the other side.
4
With the aid of another person lower
the cage over the car. The horizontal flat
plates on the rollcage locate to the flat
plates behind the bulkhead (Fig 2.1).
2.1
5
Locate four M10x25mm setscrews,
place a standard washer over each
setscrew.
6
Insert the four setscrews in each side
and temporarily tighten with nyloc nuts.
7
The forward most mounting points
should line up with the holes drilled in
the body (Fig 2.2).
2.2
NOTE:
If the holes do not line up, then slacken the
eight upper mounts to allow the cage to
move slightly.
8
Push the set screws that were
positioned flush with the body all the
way through so they come through the
mounting holes in the rollcage.
9
Fit nyloc nuts on the outside. No
washers are required.
10
Repeat the process for the other side of
the car.
11
Loosely tighten the bolts for now, along
with the upper mountings if slackened
earlier.
12
Push the two side impact setscrews all
the way through.
13
Place a washer on each bolt and secure
with a nyloc nut.
14
Repeat the process for the other side of
the car.

Fitting – Rear Steadies
1
Locate the a rose joint from your parts
along with the locking nuts.
2
Screw the locking nuts on to the rose
joint
3
Screw the rose joint into the bottom of
the rear steadies.
4
Adjust the rose joint so that it lines up
with the chassis bracket.
5
Locate a 7/16”x2 1/2” setscrew from
your parts, place a washer on the end
6
Locate two small spacers from your
parts and fit between the rose joint and
the chassis bracket.
7
Insert the setscrew through the bracket
