Default Fitting a safety device 6 point roll cage

As above, just bought one for my rst, any tips going to help get it fitted? Had a good search through here and google , looked on the safety device website, but not much joy just wondered if anyone had any pictures of theres being fitted, to help me fit mine, more so of the actually fitting of the plates you need to weld in, for the supports of the legs, mines a bolt in cage if that helps, cheers for any help, bill

Good tip mate, Get 4 axle stands and get the tires up off the floor making sure the car is as level as possible left to right and front to back, it'll make it easier to get to the bolts/nuts underneath, plus if it's on the tires the car will move back and forth.
Also make sure you can still get the lower seat belt sill bar back in properly, I couldn't on mine.
