I'm looking at your rear IRS, is it correct ?

The top bones look to be in the same vertical plane as the lower, surely they should be more outboard to allow negative camber change in roll.

I had a google at Westfield rear IRS and its very different to what you have.

Apart from that the roll cage looks fine to me, quite retro 60's appeal

Back to the drawing board! Watch this space!

Looks fine to me. The only comment is to make sure that internal down-tube that comes by the left side of your head is far enough away. If you get T-boned from the left your head will take a viscious snap to the left that may impact it. (Can't tell for sure from the above camera angle.)

+1 - take a look at some crash test stuff on youtube and see just how far a head travels even at 40 kmh. You don't want that tube anywhere near your skull.

The intention is to fit a seat with a winged head restraint, but thanks for your concerns!

Version 2! Following some sound advice, we've gone for a more traditional 'cage'. Petty bar and side impact bar are removable.
