to answer all the last three questions in one go.....

t45 is fine

but the minimum sizes stay the same ....

unless....the cage is built by a recognised rollcage builder and has current MSA or FIA approval certificate. - in which case contact me before building/buying/enter the car

or the shorter answer....

the same
no
yes

I was going to make my cage out of 1mm, but decided to go for 1.5mm to be safer, i'm going ot have it FIA approved tho, so i'm sure it will be upto spec.

EDIT: MSA appoved should i say....

IF its approved ..... there will of course be paperwork/ROPS certificate to back it up then fine.....but without paperwork......

I would imagine that the cost of the paperwork/inspection would be dearer than the additional cost of thicker tubing
