i may be wrong but for harnesses the spreader can go on the underside as in a bad situation you need them to try and pull the entire plate through the floor...
if you mount a plate for the cage on the under side theirs nowt stopping it punching it through should you end up on the shiney side...
all my cages have had plates on the inside...

Thats how both of my cages are fitted Adam.Quote:
Or will they be ok not actually welded to the floor and just held with the bolts? (i.e. foot/floor/spreader) with the bolts through all 3? Afterall thats how my harnesses are held to the car floor?
There is no room for the plates inside the car on my SD one as its tight against the floor apart from on the centre hoop which needs plates welding in to bolt it down to.
my SD cage has plates on the inside :)
Do you have a dash fitted /\ ?
Get what you are saying, but the entire foot of the cage would have to push through the car floor????
edit: nvm, didn't notice the previous page with pics of the cage lol
thats the theory lol, i dont ever want to test it personally :dQuote:

Hence why my cage has plates on the inside tagged into the sills so should i end up on my roof, it has to punch a 3mm steel plate through the floor thats tagged into the sill... i know what id trust :)
Welding looks good.
Ok, cheers.
Will see what i can do but i dont think theres enough space for a spreader plate. The cage sits solid against the dash, hence why i cant lift it up any to fit spreaders under the feet on the inside. Unless i use think sheet metal? (1-2mm), even that welded to the floor is going to be better than nothing.....
Cheers Benn :)
Trim the ends, they've been cut from the look. Get a grind on it, skim off a few mm, weld on a few mm thick foot plate, then bolt/weld a plate under the floor (under side) thn bolt all the way thru.
Do it before. Easy to do.
Tsg it to the sills while your in there. (front and rear leg)
Only problem with welded on the underside is its a bastid of a job with axle stands! lol
