Rollcage in a Minivan
Turbo Mini Forums

Been thinking about putting a rollcage in my van, as I can't see it being anywhere near as stiff as a saloon. So has anyone fitted one? Should I attempt make one myself or have one made?
Cheers for your thoughts,
Mark

speak to mark wanstall from right line motorsport, he fitted one a few weeks back.

Well i would think you would need to have one made.

A. Beacuse im pretty sure you cant buy a van sized cage off the shelf!

B. Because off the shelf cages are generaly crap and dont make the shell much stiffer

im pretty sure that someone did onece make a cage for the vans

Why-god only knows??

and i cant remember who it was, but roll centre rings a bell

Hi,
Nic .. You're right! I've got a Roll Centre cage for my estate. It's a modified van cage.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Yup, Bat beat me too it, rollcentre make them as i was looking at one for mine but never bothered in the end.

Thanks chaps, found contact details on both so will make some calls on Monday.

Bat, did you notice a difference with it fitted?

Mark

Hi,
It's still in the garage, unfitted, and the cars not seen the road yet :(
I would have thought the van shell to be a bit more sturdy than the estate, but then people have told me a cage in a saloon makes a big difference ...
Cheers,
Gavin :)

That gives me a reason to buy it.

I dont have any pics myself as Charlotte has nicked my phone - computer lead!

Thanks Jimster. Ditto on the reason to buy it, will grab a copy tomorrow.

Mark Wanstall of Rightline Motorsport a top gent, spoke to him for a good 5-10 minutes, gave me some genuine answers to my questions, polite very impressed when answering a cold sales enquiry. Explained to me what he could do etc. Basicially its a bespoke solution to my buget, which I would need to work out, but looks like £750-1000.

Spoke to Rollcenter, chap answered questions but seemed a none telephone man if you get me but then they must receive loads of calls from Chavs in Corsa's.

Thanks chaps will speak to Rightline (07767611591) again me thinks when I have a buget to work with.

Glad you got on well with Mark, he is a top bloke.

Hope you have some business with him, if you do, he owes me a pint!
