Richard:
If you intend to race the car again in SCCA, the role cage rules differ
depending upon when the car was constructed/registered. The logbook will
show when the car was registered. All cars registered after 1/1/08 have
different construction requirements and tubing sizes than those registered
prior to this date.
If it is an old car and you are going to go through it extensively, it might
not be a bad idea to upgrade the cage also.

Thanks to all who responded. I posted the question for a friend, Boyd
Wagner and will forward the responses to him. Boyd has restored a few TR's
and recently built a Sprite for autocross and hillclimb. I nominated him to
our group a while back and he received a second but he has not been
receiving e-mails. His e-mail address is whipwagner@comcast.net. Does he
need to introduce himself first?
