Single seater roll bars
Is it true that scruteneers will ask for roll bar certificates for all cars at each event this season? I have emailed MSA but the reply was
"Provided the ROPS meets the regulations as set out in the MSA Yearbook then no problem. It is merely a case of the dimensions and material meeting the minimum specification. If the ROPS does not meet these requirements then it may already have had a certificate issued. Assuming the ROPS is original to the car it would have met the regulations. That said I have checked the records and ROPS Certificate 590 was issued to Reynard cars for a Reynard 833. If you need a copy of this then please contact our sales desk. Regards John Symes Technical & Risk Control Manager" Im therefore none the wiser! |

Lee (I assume),
I hope not! But I do have a certificate for our 883 roll hoop if you want one, then just pop it in the car prior to scrutineering just in case. |

Ok thank you. Would it be possible to have a photo copy of it at some time? (Ill let you know next time im at a race). I strangely have one for at 873 I think! Not that it helps. If this is true there will be allot of cars being turned away at each event!

The MSA did propose this a couple of years ago, but because they were insisting that it was their tame engineers that did the certificating along with a very large fee ( £1,000's) it was realised it would kill off special builders and seems to have been quietly forgotten.

I'll try and remember to take it work and photocopy it for you. However, I might need gentle reminders every so often.
