Proper roll age foam will be fire rated


This self extinguishes fire, look at the spec

http://www.pipelaggi...ging-p-657.html

approx £5 per length cheaper than propper roll cage padding so it will do
for me...

If the car does catch fire I don't intend on staying in it to see if it does burn ...

Lol if the car is going up in flames what difference is it going to make if it's fire rated or not.

Looks nice Carl. Are the brakes better now?

Just in case the roll cage padding accidently catches fire I have now fitted
a fire extinguisher to the cage ...... ;D :D

Forgot to mention, I had a bit of trouble getting one of the copper washers to seal, as the metro used a taper threaded hose, so that face of the caliper was exposed to the elements. Might need filing flat to get a good seat.
