Fitting Padding to a roll bar

Recommended Posts

I am about to fit some OMP padding to my roll bar

I've sprung for the good stuff- OMP FIA padding from Demon Tweeks rather than a bit of foam from B&Q because I figure my bonce is worth it.

Seems fairly obvious that I just cable tie it to the bars in the places where my head is likely to make contact but I thought I'd double-check on the Safety Devices website (My roll cage is an older Safety Devices jobby). I was surprised to read that they recommend gluing it in place with Araldite epoxy adhesive before cable tying. Is this recommended? Does anyone else do that or would cable ties be sufficient by themselves?

On the academy cars I think they are wrapped in place with gaffer tape wound around them as well.  That's certainly what I did as cable ties didn't seem to be holding it very securely.  I guess the idea behind gluing it is that in an impact a cable tie may not hold it in place enough when impacted and there is a risk of it rotating when struck with your head, limiting its effectiveness.
