At AST Roll Cages we can only paint roll cages when they are installed by us in our factory workshop. We do not send them painted because the paint would most likely be damaged during transport. Another reason why we do not send them painted is that it is convenient to do this after the installation is completed, dismantling the roll cage again for painting.

To anchor the roll cage, it is necessary to weld reinforcement plates to the body-shell onto which the roll cage is bolted. These bases are designed to copy the shape of the vehicle's interior floor, so they must be positioned in their corresponding location and welded.

It is not compulsory to be a certified or qualified welder, although it is highly recommended. We strongly recommend delegating this operation to someone experienced in welding. It must be borne in mind that the quality of welding is of paramount importance for the roll cage to do its job.

Our roll cages are made of E355 steel, cold drawn without welding. This quality is superior to that required by the FIA in Appendix J. We also have versions manufactured in 25CrMo4 for some models.

Our fasteners are metric 8 and meet the requirements of the competition.

A sleeve connector is a tubular metal part made of steel, which has 4 holes on its surface and these are pierced by 4 screws. They are used to ensure that a roll cage can be inserted into the vehicle and connected to each other by means of these sleeve connectors.

Bolt-Ins require the dashboard to be uninstalled and then adapted for installation.

Unless otherwise indicated on the desired article and depending on the vehicle model, the following may have to be removed or adapted: plastics, trims, mechanisms, carpets, headliners, insulators, body panels…

An authorized installer is an independent workshop, certified and tested by AST Roll Cages, to install our products.

Yes, as all our roll cages are equipped with a harness bar.

Designing and installing roll cages with the quality and fit we are known for requires that our operators and installers have the best possible working conditions, both inside and outside the vehicle. That is why we need the customer to uninstall a number of elements before bringing the vehicle to our fitting centers in order to achieve optimum, fast and efficient work and to be able to meet the installation price quoted. For Bolt-Ins it is necessary to deliver the vehicle with these elements uninstalled:

• Fuel tank
• Wiring and cabin fuse box
• Roof trim
• Carpet
• Rear seat belts
• Front and rear seats
• Lateral trims
• Doors
• Trunk trims
• Rear tray
• Dashboard, aerators and heating
• Rear suspension
• Front and side glass

A kit is a set of tubes, plates and reinforcements that, once welded together, make up a rolla cage. All tubes are delivered with the necessary fittings, sockets and bends, as well as the metal plates and reinforcements.

No. The kit is received completely disassembled. To assemble it, follow the assembly instructions provided with all our kits.

For the anchoring of the roll cage manufactured in accordance with FIA Appendix J, it is necessary to weld reinforcement plates to the bodyshell on which the roll cage is bolted. These bases are designed by copying the shape of the interior floor of the vehicle, so they have to be positioned in their corresponding location and welded.. For ASN-approved roll cages, no bolts are used and only one reinforcing plate is used for each support point of the roll cage on the chassis.

It is not compulsory to be a certified or qualified welder, although it is highly recommended. We strongly recommend delegating this operation to someone experienced in welding. It must be borne in mind that the quality of welding is of paramount importance for the roll cage to do its job.

All welds should have full penetration and preferably using gas atmosphere welding. They should cover the entire perimeter of the pipe at its joints with other tubes and reinforcing plates.

Yes, since all our structures are equipped with a bar for harness attachment.

Yes, except for companies with a validated intra-community VAT number and for sales not contemplated within the European Economic Area.

Yes, by choosing during the purchase process on the web site the option "Pick up at factory". SIt will be necessary to notify prior to pickup, which company or person is in charge, as well as provide us with the shipping labels of the transportation company chosen to make the pickup. From the notification by AST Roll Cages confirming that the order has been manufactured, the customer has 30 calendar days to pick up the order.

This may occur because we do not have that vehicle model available, and in such a case, we need to have in our facilities a bodyshell with the interior completely disassembled in order to digitize it in 3D and thus be able to develop our products. This 3D scanning and development process has an economic cost that we can assume in full as long as the vehicle model has commercial potential for AST Roll Cages. Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

All our security structures are manufactured to order and have an estimated manufacturing lead time of 20 to 30 working days according to our working calendar. Other products can be shipped within 2-3 working days as we have them in stock.

Yes, by informing us in advance of the person or company to whom you have delegated the transport so that we can coordinate the delivery of the bodyshell.

Depending on the country, laws on the use of roll cages on public roads differ. Check the legality with the competent authority in your country before purchasing. In Spain, the Rear Cage can be homologated for the vast majority of vehicles and must be homologated in order to be used on public roads. In Spain, the homologation of Full Cage (or 6-point roll cages) depends on several factors: from the current situation of the regulations and their interpretation by the laboratory to which the technical project is delegated, to the nature and size of the vehicle model on which the homologation is to be carried out.

Depending on the country, there are different laws regarding the use of door bars on public roads. Check the legality with the competent authority in your country before purchasing. In the case of Spain, it is not legal to drive on public roads with reinforcement bars on the doors.

Depending on the country, there are different requirements and/or laws regarding the use of roll cages on public roads. In the case of Spain, the roll cage must be approved by an engineer. This engineer prepares a project that is submitted to an independent laboratory and then delivered to the ITV for testing and verification, with the corresponding fee. Once the vehicle has been approved by the ITV, the roll cage is noted on the vehicle's registration certificate, making it suitable for use on public roads.

The FIA Appendix J is the Technical Regulations for racing cars of the International Automobile Federation. Its first edition was published in 1961 and has been updated and improved edition after edition. The latest edition dates back to 2020.

The FIA homologation forms are descriptive documents, drawn up solely by the vehicle manufacturer, which contain a series of technical characteristics and components of the series production vehicle. In addition, they are completed with racing extensions that define the complete racing vehicle.

All our Motorsport structures marked with the FIA Appendix J logo or without logo are manufactured according to the guidelines and requirements that have been indicated in Appendix J in order to be used in different championships, but this does not mean that this is automatically fulfilled for all vehicles. The roll cage that appears on our website next to the FIA Appendix J logo are those that comply with the minimum required for the model and engine detailed in the description of the product in question, since these are the versions of that vehicle that have the FIA Approval Form. This does not always mean that if a motorization does not correspond to the versions detailed in the description it cannot be used in competition, since the minimum required always depends on the organization or entity promoting the event. In the case of models and engines that do not have a roll cage with the FIA Appendix J logo, the owner or person responsible for the vehicle must contact the organizing body or its ASN to find out the minimum safety requirements in order to choose the appropriate version from our extensive catalog.

A roll cage with ADN or ASN homologation is a structure manufactured in accordance with the homologation regulations for structures issued by the FIA. The homologation of this type of structure allows us to opt for other technical resources, both in terms of manufacturing and configuration, not stipulated in the FIA Appendix J.

Yes, since the regulations are applied retroactively.

Bolt-In roll cages are delivered with the enclosed documentation in an envelope that you will receive with your order. We attach a documentation where the technical characteristics of the roll cage are specified, and in the case of having acquired a roll cage with the FIA Appendix J label, the edition of the FIA Appendix J to which the roll cage corresponds will be indicated. Weld-In roll cages are supplied in kit form and are not initially accompanied by the definitive documentation, since, in order to obtain it, you must follow the roll cage certification procedure that you will receive by e-mail together with the installation drawings. This procedure consists of taking a series of photographs, filling out a form with the vehicle's data and those of the persons in charge of the welding, as well as a welding test piece that will have to be carried out with the same technique used in the installation of the roll cage. Once all these requirements are in our possession and the results are satisfactory, the final documentation is issued and sent to you by mail. All this at no extra cost. If you have any questions about this process, please do not hesitate to contact us before purchasing.

A weld test piece consists of two pieces of tube, which are included in our Weld-In safety structures, which must be joined together to form a T-shape by welding of the same type and quality as the one used in the installation of the roll cage.
