Basically spreader plates on the floor, then steel box with captive nuts.

Old pic of mine, which has now been removed again and fully welded.

Did the Cage come out of a crashed rally car ?, if so it could be out of shape.

One tip is when fitting the cage make sure that all the bolts holding the cage together are as losses as possible giving you some movement and once all bolts are in place including the locating bolts then start to do them up full.
