Hi all
Last night at the club meeting I heard something about Safety cage changes next year, as I’ve built my cage but haven’t got it log booked yet I naturally freaked out so contacted CAMS this morning, FYI this is the response I got.
cheers

Hi Colin,

There will be no changes for 2007. Peter Lawrence will confirm this in the next CAMS magazine.

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the research effort Colin.  A few hearts have returned ot normal output, mine included but if you had one installed in 2006 it is therefore complaint to 06 rules but should be log booked to protect this which you still have 2 months to do anyway.

Will look forward to the next CAMS mag to verify this.

I can confirm that ROPS regs will not change for 2007 - that is 2006 regs will still be applicable for 2007.

CAMS had announced the change and advised manufacturers of the new requirement, but since then they have had a change of heart, but without letting anyone know.

No reason for the change but there ya have it - panic over for this year at least.
