Oh, a Cusco Safety21 copy (3" tube rather than the 2 or 2.5 which is used normally) is a perfectly acceptable ROPS cage. But to put it quite simply the design is useless for anything other than rolling it. And when it comes down to it on road rally, and most circuit events a side impact is heaps more likely than a roll.
Rolling mostly occurs during rallys and other uneven surface events.
But even for this i woudlnt trust the Safety21 on its own, to put it quite simply a 6point non crossbraced cage just isnt strong enough. Even the CAMS regulations specify at least one crossbrace in the main hoop and roof area.
Now it all depends on the RTA, but from everything ive heard the ACT RTA are actually pretty good about it. Infact from talking to some BMSC people there are actually a couple of people who run full cages in road-legal cars.
As for the cosmetic comment, i (and many different engineers) use this to term a generic bolt in cage which may provide some structural integrity but not a great deal, and are mainly produced in order that street cars can look good. No offense intended if its being used for a proper purpose.
