Default Roll Cages in an Escos

Hi,

Im looking into getting a roll cage for my escos but am unsure what type to go for

I want it to be as strong as possible for Handling purposes swell as if i roll/smash the car

On the other hand i want it as light as possible and small tucked away ect

Dont want much do i im sure someone’s has what im after.

if you have a roll cage in yours please feel free to post up some picks as im interested in any and all that are in escos's

thanks for your time

Ben, im not liking this, your copying far to much of my car
mine is fully caged - safety devices 6 point





Actually i think im safe there, youve got eye sight issues with your under bonnet hoses, and both my wheel choices are better than yours - obviously all in my own opinion

unfortunately Kelv we have the same Car, Colour even and you have at least 5 years Escos ownership than me so all the bits you have been doing you will sadly have to now whatch me do the same

Hoses are diffrent good job i didnt get the same as you, would have been another thing for you to cry about and as far as wheels go i got a brand new set of Anthracite Compomotive MOs that i know you have seen and i can only asume you are Jelous

Anyway enough of the banter tell me about your cage

Not jealous mate - good luck to you in what ever you choose to do
mine are the 9" satin black MO's for road use, what have you gone for now (size wise)
My Raclines are now on Efe's car which is also at Martins now.

last time i saw your car it was floating in the air and was kind of wearing those Azev's.

may even see it this week again if i get chance!!

the Azev's are long gone mate i wouldnt even get them on if i wanted as the new brakes are too big

the new ones are 8 inch wide but im looking at another set or 2 road tyres, slicks and road legal slicks so i need 2 more sets of wheels, when i can afford them and the rubber

so come on tell me about your cage

Heigo is German, so I'm sure its more than good enough for LHD cars as well... If it isnt, I'm probably dead anyway...

Does this fit straight into the escos with all trim etc??

Or does trim need to be chopped etc to make it to fit??

Is it weld in or bolt in??

And finally where can i get one

Need to remove the plastic covers over the ecu etc. And trim the plastic that goes by the doors. And also a little bit on each side on the rear door cards.

Welded in 4 "boxes" on the floor that the cage is bolted into. Spent a day fitting it

Swapped mine for some other parts, dont know where you can buy one. Try Heigos website...
