right ive got an omp cage, what size of padding would i need to fit it, trying to get some off ebay but dont know what size my cage bars are as i cant measure them as im not at home, anyone know what would fit?

would this fit
High density roll cage padding. The hole is offset so the padding thickness can be varied by rotating. The padding fits 1 3/8" to 1 ¾" ( 35mm to 45mm ). Flame retardant.

Depends what you want - the pipe lagging will stop you smacking your head getting in and out, but is worthless in a crash.

The high density stuff could save your brain if you roll Yes

Pretty sure standard cages use T45, so yes it would.

the most likely situation you will be in if you roll will be on track. meaning you will have a helmet on so padding is no biggie.

the stuff in the link it fine , and cheapest you will find it unless you have a scaffolder friend Yes

stuff on ebay is like £12 for 3ft roughly coloured delivered

but can get black 2m's for 10.50 deliverd will probly go for that as would work out cheapest.

although the link form lotek is good works out bout the same with delivery, might see a local plumbers tho

That size should do you from ebay.

Proper (hard) foam padding will offer a lot more protection than pipe lagging in a crash, however, even pipe lagging is better than nothing!

I paid £2 for a 3 meter length at my local plumbing centre, I could choose wall thickness so I went for 20mm but like others have said it's not the best stuff to use!
