looks really nice dude!! what did safety devices have to do to make the cage fit better???

Gav Diamond · 05-09-2004, 02:58 AM

Fastmaul
They had to make me a one off cage as they had done it wrong but i had had all the mountings already welded in before i noticed.
They were ok about it though, well Trevor was Norbert was a waste of time.

FiestaXr3i · 15-09-2004, 11:46 AM

That was a BIG project

Two questions

- Was there any problem with the rollcage?
- What did you have to do to make it fit ok?

nice car mate

nice car mate

The problems i had with the cage were that i dont think they are really designed for use with the trim in the car, so its a bit of a nightmare to get it in but it will go.
Other than that Safety Devises put the wrong connectors on for the door bars so they did not fit, but i spoke to them and they had my car in and sorted it and fitted the cage for me.

Don't let Sticker Paul hear you say that as it took him ages to get that on straight

All i did was took the badge off and got one of my mates to fill and smooth it over.

The car is now down at A1 Rally Sport so i have no idea when i will get some more updates, as he has a lot of cars to do before mine.
As soon as anything happens you lot will be the first to know
