When is SFI approved Roll Cage padding required? I know I'm required to have padding on any area that you can come into contact with but no idea if I have to have the SFI approved stuff. If I do the whole cage 4 dollars for 3 foot compared to 16 dollars for 3 foot is a huge difference. Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

Re: When is SFI approved Roll Cage padding required? I'm not quite sure of the exact requirements, but I can safely say that you won't be needing SFI approved rollbar padding. You're good to go with the regular cheap stuff.

Re: When is SFI approved Roll Cage padding required? Roll bar must be padded anywhere driver's helmet may contact it while in driving position. Adequate padding must have minimum 1/4-inch (6.35 mm) compression or meet SFI Spec 45.1.

section 4.10. sounds like the cheap stuff should work as long as the compression checks out. Hope I was of help. I am in need of a cage myself and have been researching it quite a bit.

Re: When is SFI approved Roll Cage padding required? Thanks guys. Looks like the cheap stuff is gong to work. Save a lot of money to go somewhere else.
