Blade ARB all connected up
Hi, where I can buy the blade ARB and will it fit also on Fury chassis, that is different from Phoenix one? Is it adjustable from the cockpit and
dedicated to a specific stiffness set of springs?

It can be made to fit a Fury (Adi and others have done just that) and it can be made to be cockpit adjustable (again this is something that Adi has
done).
You can get them infrequently from US ebay as they are from Indycar single seaters (in my case a Dallara part).

I suspect you are "slightly" more than 1/2 Kg lighter than me Pete so you win on that one.

lol, that's a very good answer...ever thought of going into Politics! I am, however, a stone heavier than I was a few years ago...that's
all the fault of going to the gym too often and not just too many pies so its not a bad thing as such

The old roll-hoop was 38mm with very short front stays. This is not allowed in MSA competition now so the new hoop complies with that requirement as
it is 45mm with back stays.

Do the back stays have to be 45mm?

Yes, according to my reading of the regs. Mind you better to be safe than sorry so we took a strict interpretation.

Cars pre 1995 can have 38mm main hoops.

You've said this to me before but I've just looked in S 10.1 and can't see any such exception. Can you point me at this exception
in the 2016 Blue Book?

Section K 1.4.1 Jeff. I'm on my phone so can't copy the text - sorry.
38mm allowed for all pats of cages prior to 1995.

Minimum Dimensions (Ø in mm)
a) Mandatory tubular members
45 x 2.5 (1.75” x 0.095”) or 50 x 2.0 (2.0” x 0.083”).
38 x 2.5 (1.5” x 0.095”) or 40 x 2.0 (1.6” x 0.083”).
(For roll cages/bars approved prior to 1.1.95).
b)Optional tubular members
38 x 2.5 (1.5” x 0.095”) or 40 x 2.0 (1.6” x 0.083”)
I'd check with the MSA as I read that as ROPS that have been approved prior to 1995 are allowed i.e MSA homologated not vehicles prior to 1995.
If your ROPS is not MSA certified it will not be allowed to be 38mm.
Exceptions
The only exceptions to the foregoing requirements for
Saloon, single seater and Sports Cars are as follows:
1.5.1. ROPS manufacturers may make application to
the MSA for a Roll Over Protection System (ROPS)
Certificate to be issued.
Note: ROPS manufacturers wishing to make application
for such a certificate should contact the MSA Technical
Department in order to obtain details of the
requirements to be met and the fees payable. Subject
to these requirements being met a ROPS Certificate
will be raised and issued. Duly authorised copies of this
certificate containing a drawing, photographs, a copy
of the manufacturers declaration that the ROPS meets
the required regulations should be available to event
Scrutineers.
1.5.2. Each ROPS manufactured after 1.1.97 for which
the MSA or the FIA has issued a ROPS (Rollcage)
Certificate must bear an identification plate which details
the manufacturer and the manufacturer’s part number
allocated to the cage. Details of this identity plate
