Dear All
RATIFICATION and CLARIFICATION OF RULE CHANGE PROPOSAL
Roll Cage Regulation 3.9.2. The only permitted drilled hole is a hole of 3/16" diameter for inspection purposes on roll cages and fabricated bulkheads unless current regulations allow.
At the Association of Land Rover Clubs AGM held on the 19th March 2011 the above Rule Change Proposal was voted FOR by the member clubs. This were then recommended to proceed to the ALRC Council for ratification at their meeting on the 11th June 2011 where it was referred back to the Scrutineering & Off Road Committee for further discussion at their meeting on the 9th July 2011 before ratification could be considered.
The following two statements were made at the S&ORC meeting to appear together with the rule as a further explanation.
Grandfather rights can be given to vehicles with existing holes for the roof panels but these vehicles can only be used for CCVT and not speed events. All new builds must comply with the rule.
Vehicles with drilled holes for wings or attachments for doors - With relation to bulkheads where the front cage is a bulkhead it can be used until the next relogbooking when it needs to be altered to a bulkhead with no holes.
This rule change proposal was Ratified by the ALRC Council on the 15th October 2011 and takes immediate effect from that date.
I would appreciate it if you could pass on this information to your club members.

Rule Change proposal 5 is missing from the above, this is because it has not yet been agreed (ratified), this proposal affects vehicles with holes drilled in roll cages for the mounting of door hinges and roof panels etc. As soon as a decision is made about this proposal, we will update this information.
A further two rule clarifications have been agreed which take immediate effect.

Bends may be used on the connecting bars between the front and rear hoops but should not have more than 4" / 100mm between 'a' and 'b' as shown above.
The angle of the windscreen should be that of a 90/110 for any Series or Defender vehicles, with an angle no greater than 33 degrees from the vertical or the actual angle on other types; even if a windscreen or its pillars are not fitted.
This maximum angle is also to be added to the Tolerances & Allowances on Dimensions listing (page 81 of the 2011 ALRC Handbook).
