dont know about weld-in, but the group A bolt-in had blocks between the cage and b-pillars with bolts going through to the upper seat belt mountings. Iirc they had similar blocks along the top of the side hoops bolted into the box section at the side of the roof. The front had 1 bolt going through the A-pillar to the upper part of the brace going to the front turret. The turret braces themselves seem to have 1 bolt going sideways in to the box section at the side, and two vertical bolts by the side of the turret.
Also I have seen weld-in cages wher peeps have just welded in small bracing plates between the shell and cage, particurlary along the A and B pillars.

I'm looking into the HH cage for mine, wish I'd really brought it in the first place before I got it all painted, oh well, gives me the oppurtunity to get the engien bay slightly altered.

was that a Saftey Device cage you had in yours dave ?

anyone got any pics of the HH one fitted into a nova ?

Think that's all the pics i've got of the car mate, I sold the shell but haven't heard anymore about it, apparantley the guy was going to use it for rallying. If I find any more i'll post them up.

Yeah full safety devices cage with weld in seat rails, didn't go for harness bars at the time just used the strut brace tube for mounting the harnesses.
