BDC/EDC reg roll cage padding??! - Drifting forum

FlikstRR · 11-02-2008, 20:47

sounds mad but im having a bit of a nightmare finding padding for the cage. I found one place but want to triple check before forking out.

It says in the BDC rules .pdf that you need padding in the front etc... So i was gonna pop off to the local B&Q, being the tight arse i am, for some of the pipe lagging stuff.... but im informed it melts rather well

can someone post me a link to a few uk outlets that stock some?? Im hoping it wont cost the earth too lol but why skimp on saftey i guess!

cheers guys

Is it a case of you not wanting to use the b&q stuff, or the fact you cant?

(btw, Peter had 1 s14 cage left, so no need to wait

yay)

FlikstRR · 11-02-2008, 20:58

nice marc

yeah i was told i cant use the bnq foam stuff as its not fire retardant or whatever...
believe me if i could i would!

Remember that pipe lagging insn't intended for protecting parts of your anatomy bouncing off it. I ordered mine from the DW shop a while back, and I think they still sell it...

FlikstRR · 11-02-2008, 21:39

i dont see it?

Mattyboi · 11-02-2008, 21:52

Yeah i`m with mitch, if you use pipe lagging and hit your head you`ll be hurt really bad. Maybe not on track but i bet you don`t wear a helmet when you drive on the road. Or your passengers for that matter.

Do it right, do it once.

Matt_S · 11-02-2008, 22:38

My cage padding cost me over £10 a length and I had to buy 6 lengths

Did you get the uber expensive thin FIA stuff Matt? I got 5 metres of the normal stuff for nowt from a mate. Trouble is its a bit on the chunky side.

Chris_200SX · 11-02-2008, 23:33

EDIT : would this be suitable?

Chris_200SX · 12-02-2008, 13:23

phil and others,

just found this on the BDC regs

"Please note: The above drawings are for indication purposes only and are not to scale and must be not be
construed as the correct angles. Each vehicle that requires cage modifications should speak with the Technical
Officer of EDC/BDC in advance of any modifications. Parts of roll cage within 150mm of occupant’s helmets
must be fitted with fire resistant padding."

does this mean FIA???

kieran_e1 · 12-02-2008, 13:25
