Terms of work - rollcages, bodywork, painting - prices

We will discuss with our clients all the details about the timing of the work, cost of materials, fees and prices, and the payment schedule, either in person, or by phone, or by e-mail. After agreeing on them we will sign a contract of work.

For more information, please, have a look on the "Terms and Conditions" .

The main activities of RETHEY TEAM are bodywork modifications and building-in of rollcages.

Each sports car or race car type has its own minimum requirements concerning the rollcage applicable, clearly expressed by its homologation certificate. Older cars usually have more simple rollcages, built with less elements. In any case, it is not worth sparing kilos of weight, because the rollcage not only protects the occupants of the cabin in case of rollover, but also gives strength, resistance and adhesion to the whole bodywork. Some extra kilos of weight offer more durability and better performance on the track.

Discounts:
In case of contracts for big volume of work (eg. complete overhaul of bodywork), we may give some price reduction of 5-10%, depending on the nature of work to be done and the total value of order. Our offer of discount varies in each individual case!

For the embedding of a rollcage we usually have to dismantle the bodywork of the sports car, but we leave it on the chassis for being able to move it within the workshop. We undertake all this dismantling and assembly.
The regulations that apply on modifications and the statical considerations do not leave much space for originality, but we aim to provide the best possible performance for money ratio. We offer to do the required amendments and modifications, or offer to help if our client wish to have them done elsewhere..
For the work to be proper, correct, according to the standards and regulations, the bodywork has to be in good condition. This is particularly important for the points of mount-and-fix. If these points need to be reinforced, we tell the client and offer to do the repairs..

For embedding the rollcage we need to have readily available the following parts, pieces, elements of the sports car:

- Doors: we need them in order to estimate the position of the side elements (rollbars)..

- Dashboard frame: according to the regulations, the rollcage can be welded on this frame or bar. So, if we want to keep and use it, it has to be close at hand.

- Dashboard: for reasons of mounting the original dashboard later on and connecting the electrical and mechanical instruments again after embedding the rollcage, we have to take it into account. Of course, the aim is to adhere to the rules with the least possible "re-sizing" of the dashboard. If the client want it, we undertake to mount back to place the dashboard, too.

- Instruments: All those instruments connected to the dashboard or positioned behind it (like electrical connections and switches, radiator switches and openings, windscreen wipers, etc) may be re-positioned and re-mounted in more convenient place after incorporating a rollcage to the bodywork.

- Seats: the seat-holding frame is homologised together with the rollcage, so it is recommended to built them in together. For the final alignment with the seat, we may need the seat, too. In case of head-protector seats, it is necessary to have the seat, because the side elements of the rollcage next to the head may cause difficulties mounting the seat itself.
