trial fitted the cage

[chimp007_uk]

evening all,

i thought i'd have a play this afternoon, brought the cage back from the lock up and plonked it... :D it's cable tied to hold it still at the moment lol

i want a cage for the track, and can't really afford ?350 for a 6point at the moment, so think i'll fit this and go from there.

you being serious??? i dislike them... would rather run the cav slabs i've got or a set of astra gte wheels.

Wheels look gash (no offence)

Cages really need to be welded or bolted in via welded in box section. Otherwise the feet of the cage could easily penetrate the thin floor of a Nova shell in a roll etc, in which case the cage would fall through the car (exageration) & pose quite a danger to your head.

I'll search you out a link to a guide perhaps.

I was never happy with the way i fitted it to my gte, and wanted to do things properly this time now I have tthe welder :)

I was going to plate the floor inside and outside.

A guide would be very much appreciated!

My sentiments exactly.

Tbh I cant find what I wanted about cage fitting. Its not so much about adding extra plates but having profiled box section for the cage feet to stand on.

I'll keep searching.
