Foam padding for roll cage

[whytie]

Anyone one know best place to buy this, everywere I look the prices seems to be crazy. I think 1 place said 85 quid for 3 metre roll surely it can't be that expensive.

Plumbing supplies store, i used industrail size polystyrene pipe lagging . Its much cheaper but you dont get much colour choice!!

Pipe cladding internal diameter usually doesn't fit around cage tubing

My roll cage has 2inch piping so it will need some pretty thick padding

Pipe cladding isn't FIA approved; just in case that's a consideration.

Good to know

some people do use it but it isnt fire retardant, i think thats why the correct padding is so expensive,

That explains the big difference in prices then
