Knowing and being qualified are two very different things.

yeah its potentially dangerous if you crash,but so is a crash potentially dangerous if you crash << i use this smiley when laughin in jest
You'd be better off not having it in the car if you have an accident as it could split and hurt someone in the car.

If Davie were my friend I would be concerned for his safety.
But it seems apparent that your advice is about as good as your grammar, spelling and punctuation
is that it youve avoided everything ive put to you and now pickin up on stupid punctuation mistakes so what have i spelt wrong or do you need it in sign language to understand

to round it up theres no facts to say these have killed anyone so its hearsay that there dangerous,if you have an accident you could split someone in to?,could being the appropriate word,all very well if you wrap it round a tree at 100mph plus,you think havin or not havin a show cage would have a different outcome,doubt it,thing is with this cage it will polish out

fuck it mate i dont care its the internet,youve kept me entertained for a couple of hours if anything,cage is gone no longer my worry that i could have potentially killed myself,davies worry now au revoir

Ahh I see. The fact it was your bufty show cage goes a long way to explain your defensiveness over the whole matter.

The people who know and understand roll cages seem to largely consider them dangerous which carries significantly more weight than you thinking they might be ok.

Anyway I'm not about to waste my time arguing on the internet. My advice is to not fit a bufty show cage and I stand by that 110% and I couldn't give two hoots if people agree or not.

I think it looks good although you could benefit form a lint free cloth and a mix of Lemon cif and brasso gold.

as for safety thats a whole other subject

ORANCO shut up mate i really dont see what your argument is here please tell me just how these cages are dangerous? These cages are just for show and nothing else, so yeh it is all about the look and if u r looking for a show cage these are one of the best ul find. If this was a topic regarding choosing a cage for a track car build then i would totally agree with you but it isnt so why dont you keep your narrow minded dull opinions to yourself!

You really can't be for real

I'm offering advise that could possibly save him and/or his passengers from personal injury. If that's narrow minded and dull you really need to get a grip.

I'm not knocking the Les Hicks cage as I have no experience of them but on the whole the show cages I've seen have been iffy to say the least made from thin wall tubing and having very poor anchorage points.

Unlikely, but I'm bored now anyway. Only so many times you can smack your head against the same wall
