I had 1 bit rough around the edges so to speak..... never found out how good it was in a roll fortunatly. I'd buy another tho if building a track car again.

good comments so far...

well thats the plan for me anyways (build a track car)

should be good enough for the job!

are they worth the money? price around should i look at paying for a 2nd hand one? (ish) in very good condition? as i wouldnt obviously buy one thats been in a crash/roll

just have to see how the funds are in a few weeks...

How much is it ?

Either way they are worth the money, if your building a trackcar then its a must IMO.

Is the car road legal ? have you contacted your inurer to let me know your going to cage it ? lots of insurers don't like cages at all

Like above check with insurer, before buying one as the could turn your car into a trailor only motor...

With regard a bolt in cage the important factor is you must have good strong plates to support the feet, as some i have seen are just m8 bolts through the floor.

Good idea though to get one if your seriously considering venturing on track

Any cage is only as good as it is installed.
