Default FIA Homologated Roll Cage??

Hello fellows
I dont know where to find FIA homologated Roll cage 6-point for my Corvette C5 Coupe. Europe is full of these roll cages but Europe is not an option for me at all.
Any ideas??

These guys are more NASA and SCCA focused for the US but they might have one that could be certified for FIA. Maybe if you have the requirements they could help you see if there is away to make one work.

I used them to source one for my older C3 vette.

Well FIA rules are just like ours for the most part but they have to govern a larger body. follow the SCCA Pro racing rules to have a cage built not some hokey $600 bolt in cage... but its your life not mine... A could cage for a vette should be under 4000 in Chromoly for pro racing. but in honestly the weight difference compared to price just use DOM.

Back years ago Pratt & Miller used to build cages for the end user to install. You can contact them for a cage as they are used to dealing with the FIA.

As a follow-up, the kit I acquired was all weld in. Never proposed bolt in

The only people I know that even would have submitted for FIA approval would be Pratt, Riley Technologies, and Callaway Europe.
