Roll Cage Cert

[rutthenut]

Help: Anyone have a copy of the roll cage certificate for the Transformer/Hawk HF?

I recall including details of it in the club newsletter many years back (probably around 1998) but can't find my actual doc.
If not a copy of the cert, just the certificate number would do, so I can contact the MSA with that.

Hi John,

There is a copy in Newsletter 19 but its so badly copied you can't use it. However if JH is not able to help drop Carol (Membership) a note as she may have a copy of what you looking for.

Hi John,

Are these the ones you require.

Would I be right in assuming all HF 2000 Transformers were built with these???

Chassis with a SPY prefix (manufactured by Spyder Engineering '87 to '90) have a lighter cage structure than those made by Safety Devices (1990 on) to which the cert applies. These cages don't meet current regs which call for 44mm(?) tubing.

They were, yes thanks. Gerry did come back to me with them too. Will now see if MSA are happy to accept this as a 'homologated' (aka certified) rollover protection structure for current use.

Give me a call John, I got mine log booked and John Butts has his sorted also.

I got my logbook on the basis of that too, although it was nearly ten years ago.

It's more down to who you deal with than any paperwork you have........

Cheers Mel, John, Chris and others.
Chris - knew you log-booked your Hawk back then but have a feeling regs have moved on a bit since then. However, the cage structure had been approved and with roll cage certification, it doesn't need to use the larger tube diameters currently specified.
Mel/John - will be in touch at some point. Will need to switch seats over from the Manta, fit fuel sampling take-off and mud flaps, refit handheld extinguisher, use newer in-date belts and I think technically that should be enough to get the car tested. Other prep/re-prep work I want to do as well but that's a different aspect to MSA eligibility.

As you say, depends on the scrute. Will find out who my local log-booking scrutineer would be too as that can make a difference. Confirmation from MSA for the roll cage still being valid would help too.

Yes I have two different cage structures, later car is heavier.
