Trans-Am Camaros / FIA Homologation
« on: October 16, 2021, 11:46:58 AM »
I am nearing the end of the homologation of my 1967 Camaro in the UK. It is to HTP standard 1449 period G1. The only area of difficulty is the number of roll cage mounting points which needs to comply with FIA appendix K roll cages. This states that the roll cage (ROPS)
4.5. Tubes through the front bulkhead and/or attached to the body/
chassis within 10cm of the front suspension pickup points are not
permitted unless documentary evidence is provided to prove this was
done in period on the make and model concerned.
4.6. For cars up to and including Period G1, the ROPS must not have
more than six mounting points, unless documentary evidence is provided
to prove this was done in period on the make and model concerned.
Unfortunately I have 8 mounting points with the front roll cage legs going through the front bulkhead and being welded on to the front chassis legs just behind the upper wishbone mounting point. I could just remove these legs but wanted to try and prove that this type of roll cage design was done in period. I have pointed them, towards the drawing on page 72 of Steve Holmes' book but the assessor thinks its unlikely they will accept this as the sketch has no date.
Can anyone assist with any photos, plans or information on the roll cage design. Thank you
