fitting a 6point cage to fiesta XR2i, Parts missing??? HELP!
My mate has a fiesta XR2i Mk3 and a second hand 6point safety devices bolt in roll cage to fit.
Anybody done this before? He has got the rear section in position but where it should mount on the floor by the B-pillar there is just a gap, should there be a plate to weld to the floor or a piece missing or??
Also how tight is the cage when fitted, is he likely to have to cut the dash out as its looking REALLY close, and he cant use his sun visors when the front horizontal is fitted
Help much appreciated, and pics if possible

It was sold as one YES, but where the B pillar floor mount bracket is, there is just an 1 1/2" gap below it so is only mounted on the floor on a lip by 2mm 
Either a bracket needs welding or its the wrong one for this car or????
