Terry Everall Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 Barny, you make a good point which is complicated by the fact that many ZZR tyres and Kuhmos are E marked and therefore road legal. As we all know ZZR and Kuhmos are now listed as a 1C tyre. If the ZZR tyres are not road legal then the scrutineer makes a valid point so its safest to get a Logbook Quote

Pardon all my questions but I've never been involved in any form of motorsport before. Do you have to pay to aquire said logbook. These days its actually called a vehicle passport rather than a logbook. the application form is actually pretty simple, compared to those you would have filled out at IVA! the application form here https://www.msauk.org/assets/vehiclepassportapplicationform.pdf and the scruiteers guidance notes here give a resonably good idea of what the inspection involves. https://www.msauk.org/assets/applicationguidancenotesforscrutineers.pdf 1 Quote
BenD Posted July 14, 2017 Author Posted July 14, 2017 @Mark (smokey mow) - Joint Essex AO have you just gone through this process with your single seater mark. I can't find anywhere that says how much it is for the passport application. How do you go about getting a scrutineer to fill in the form Quote
B.RAD Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 It's about £45 I think, £25 to MSA and £20 to the scrutineer who attends the car. It's a really simple process, takes 15mins. You just call your local scrutineer as listed in the blue book and they'll sort you out. 1 Quote

Contact details for all the scrutineers are listed in the back of the blue book. Quote
Andy - a15cro Posted July 14, 2017 Posted July 14, 2017 I had a call from someone pre Blyton, (sorry rubbish with names) who asked if I was sprinting, which then got us on a conversation of what was required as I do have a fancy for something with a competative edge. However it turns out my RAC roll bar is not compliant with rose joints. The licence, suit and other bits were straight forward, but I just know it would snowball from there......... Wish I could remember the chaps name. Quote

BenD Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 My cage has rose joints at the bottom. Is that still complaiant. It has the msa sticker Quote

Terry Everall Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 A cage will have larger dia main bars and smaller diagonals etc Quote

If it is a homologated cage then the MSA homologation number will be printed on the sticker. You need to record this on the passport application to demonstrate compliance. Tube diameter is largely irrelevant with a homologated cage as the homologation process allows manufacturers to design a cage with tube sizes and designs outside the dimensional constraints of the MSA blue book since compliance is demonstrated by them by obtaining a calculation report from MIRA. Just so long as the cage hasn't been modified by the alteration or addition of extra tubes or drilling etc then providing the cage has an MSA sticker this is how you will demonstrate to the scruiteer that the cage is a compliant design. Edit to add: my posts on this page of my build thread fully explain the homologation process Quote
B.RAD Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 I ask about tube diameter purely because bunje mentions rose joints, which are not present on the current range of MSA homologated roll bars and cages. While they won't be a problem and Mark is correct that the MSA homologation sticker is the most important aspect, it's good to know what we're advising on. In the event of any query or question from a Scrutineer, tube diameter is a handy fallback point. Quote
BenD Posted July 15, 2017 Author Posted July 15, 2017 I'll take some pictures when I can. It was purchased from playskool in January Quote
