Default 3dr rollcage, Best place to buy??

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone knows the best place to buy a multipoint weld in cage for my 3dr race car project?

Almost bought from custom cages but seen a few horror stories and now not sure

Find a local rally car fabricator and have them build you a cage. It will likely be cheaper and better.

Always check out their work first though

I'm after a 6 point bolt in for my 3 Door but it needs to go behind the dash which most bolt in don't.

Again, any rally cage guy would be able to add things like that to any cage.

Just go the whole hog and do weld in though. Will you ever really unbolt it ?

Ahh, never thought of that.

Either way, the rally guys are the ones to speak to. If you wanted bits added to an off the shelf bolt in, they'd be able to do that. And I'm sure they could build a bolt in cage too, although would probably be more work than a full weld in.
Or maybe it'd be easier, who knows.

Yes I need a bolt in that goes behind the dash as a weld in one would.
