The way that is worded suggests that there shouldn't be any extra bracing from a cage to the front strut towers?

Extra bracing and reinforcement of front and rear struts is allowed!

British Helmet Standard – BS6658 Type A/FR, BS6658-85 Type A

Thats fair enough...but for all the people that have been going at their cars for a few evenings every here and there for the winter evenings there is still a few changes to be made for the majority of people on a tight time/money budget... real pity this could not have been done sooner...just speaking from a personal point of view as i am not competing this year but have been helping out a fair few people that are...roll on the sessions i say

awesome bolt in cages fia approved are allowed still!!

Would a cusco thru dash cage do the job so? They are built with the proper cold drawn steel and have fia spec joints so I cant see any reason why one would not pass regulations apart from the dash dodgers of course which are definetely banned.
