Tony Smiley Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm struggling to interpret the blue book regarding protective padding on the roll cage. K 1.3.6 states it should be provided and refers to K 1.6.6, which says "It is recommended that ......" I don't have any padding at present (just fitted a new Caged cage), and while I can see the value of it, will I pass scruitineering without it this weekend at Blyton? Or, do I need to rush down to the nearest B&Q for some pipe insulation? Or, worst still, try and get some FIA approved stuff? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.anson Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You will be ok for scrutineering but it's handy to have to stop you damaging your crash helmet getting in and out of the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen W Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Do not use pipe lagging. FIA stuff only. You only have one noggin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 You can buy FIA spec. dense foam in half round sections from Caterham, in 1 metre long sections, if you want them. They are self adhesive, so stick quite happily to the powder coating. Not cheap mind, so I only stuck pieces on in the places which were closest to my helmet when sat in the car. I guess you can get the same product from the other "usual suspects" as well, but I never looked any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
