Roll cage padding. and padding covers

[scott.parker]

Anyone know where to get some??

Ive looked through ebay, most of there stuff is pipe lagging, and then the other stuff is mega expensive for what it is, also i wanted to get some covers for it too,as like Dar has on his.

Cheers for any replies.

i would just use pipe lagging for the padding as it just slots over and is available from any builders merchants

[ReeceH]

just use pipe lagging then staple some cloth round it or sumit to make your own cover

[scott.parker]

Yeah but it's very thin mate, and the proper padding is made with a hole thats offset so you get maximum protection the side facing you.

STAPLES! lol come off it, thats a good idea in a track car!

[ReeceH]

well i aint seen your car, but id use them lol well sew the damn cloth if you want, but i cant say i know ho to sew lol

you can either splash out and buy some expensive ones, or listen to me and save money lol

use carpet spray to stick the material down but pipe lagging has various internal bores and there is prob one that will fit your cage. use cable ties to hold the lagging in place then use the spray adhesive to fix the material. :)

Demon Theives charge ?11.25 +vat for half a meter of padding..... and only looks marginally thicker than lagging lol.

you only need 2 bits really for the top of the cage by the doors, just to stop yer skid lid getting mullered

I got mine of Ebay Scott. From YBRACING, they sell just OMP stuff.

Just the OMP stuff which comes in 2m lengths, its an ok product. Cheap and cherefull.

Lagging is good for its price but TBH it does fall to bits pretty easy really. Ive seen many a rally car with bits of lagging hanging off lol

Proper cage padding is expensive yes, but its a harder density foam, which is a bonus :D

Scott - Peter Lloyd Rallying is your cheapest option, you'll need 3 metres of it to do 2x door bars, ankle pads and 2x head pieces.

Think he charges ?5 per 3ft (or 1metre) secton.

Thats where I got mine from :)

go to a refrigeration wholesalers and ask them for some armaflex thats what we call it in work i do refrigeration and air conditioning enginerring its cheap as chips and you can get in various colours lol

[Christ]

wrap bubblewrap round the pipes!lol

[Dar]

Mines the proper stuff from Demon Tweeks. The covers are just a length of cloth with the hooks part of velcro sowen in to it. Should be easy to make if you can find the material.

Finding the right material will mean a trip to a fabric shop. You WILL feel out of placelol

[scott.parker]

lol i'll send my mates mrs, as she can go there and get the phelt i need for the dash..

[trackdaynova]

Why have you covered them in fabric? am I missing a trick? lol

[Dar]

It holds them on and looks good :D

[Ste L]
