Hiya Andy just got back now from Escort powers workshop had a chat with the lads about it.

Yes as you mentioned about Seamless tubes everything's has too be present and correct Regarding construction and quality of the cage.

MSA tubing is a must CDS tubing is required.

If you have the certificate too say it was made by a professional then you kind of got away with the heavy scrutinising mainly visual checks and your good too go.

A cage without the certificated will go under Extrema scrutinising even testing the cage by drilling various points and using measuring equipment too measure thickness and strength of each tube, they won't do it you the driver will have too.

Wyn's cage build experience may be brilliant but I can't risk losing that kinda of money for a cage that won't pass the MSA/FIA I can't take that risk.

So its either now looking at the cages from states or wait and see what Justin and Mark have too say, its possible too get one made here with the correct regulations and certificate.
