FAQs

Is this roll cage street legal?

FIA approval is for motorsport. Street legality varies by region and specific vehicle modification laws. It is recommended to check local regulations before fitting for road use.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools include socket sets, wrenches, screwdrivers, and potentially a drill. Welding equipment is required for mounting plates and certain bars. Refer to the installation manual for a detailed list.

Does this cage come pre-assembled?

The cage is designed to be bolted together. It arrives as individual tubing pieces and requires assembly and fitting into the vehicle.

What is the main benefit of a roll cage besides safety?

A significant benefit is the increase in chassis torsional rigidity. This leads to improved handling, sharper steering response, and a more stable platform for suspension tuning.

How does the FE45 steel tubing perform?

FE45 is a specific grade of cold-drawn steel known for its high strength-to-weight ratio, providing robust protection and rigidity while keeping weight manageable for performance applications.

Can I still use my rear seats with this cage installed?

Typically, a 6-point roll cage requires the removal of rear seats to allow for proper fitment of the main hoop and rear stays. Please consult specific installation diagrams.

What if my car has had accident damage?

It is crucial that the vehicle chassis is straight and within factory tolerances before attempting to install a roll cage. Significant previous accident damage can compromise fitment and effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Cage does not fit correctly

Double-check that you have the correct cage model for your specific Talbot Sunbeam Ti 1.6 year range. Ensure no interior components are interfering with the fitment and that the vehicle chassis is not significantly deformed.

Difficulty aligning bolt holes

Loosely assemble all main components first, then progressively tighten. Minor adjustments or filing of mounting plates might be necessary in some cases. Ensure the cage is centered correctly within the cabin.

Missing installation hardware

Contact the retailer or OMP customer support with your order details and the specific missing part number from the installation manual.

Concerns about welding requirements

Consult a professional automotive fabrication shop for the welding of strengthening plates and mounts if you are not experienced with vehicle welding.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases vehicle safety in case of an accident.
  • Improves chassis torsional rigidity, leading to better handling and steering response.
  • FIA approved for use in many motorsport disciplines.
  • Bolt-in design simplifies installation compared to fully welded cages.
  • Includes essential fitting kit and door bars.

Cons

  • Requires some welding for specific mounting plates and door bar brackets.
  • Not compatible with vehicles that have a factory-fitted sunroof.
  • May necessitate modifications to the dashboard for proper fitment.
  • Installation requires mechanical expertise and potentially specialized tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This roll cage is designed for bolt-in assembly with minimal welding. Ensure all vehicle interior trim that obstructs the cage path is removed. Follow the included instructions carefully for component placement. Welding is required for chassis strengthening mounting plates and door bar mounts. Some applications may also require welding for the top screen bar.

Compatibility:

  • Specifically designed for the Talbot Sunbeam Ti 1.6 (1977-1991).
  • NOT compatible with vehicles that have a factory-fitted sunroof, unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific cage variant.
  • Modifications to the dashboard may be necessary for proper fitment.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect all bolts and mounting points for tightness and wear.
  • Clean the cage with a mild, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the steel finish.
  • Check for any signs of damage or stress after significant track use or any on-track incident.
