Pennywise- Surely having a 6 point cage and rear seats is a touch dangerous ?

Potential for rear seat occupants to crack their skulls on said cage in the event of an accident!

Was a good post on the Pug board I use suggesting having a cage in a road car with no helmet was VERY dangerous...

Head plus tubes of metal plus crash = messy, basically

Spot on, seen lots of cars with slightly naff, but I guess functional pipe lagging!

WRC cars use fancy stuff like this lagging, but then they drive with helmets a lot of the time.

Personally I will soon have 3 caged up cars, and apart from a bit of padding I won't be worrying about it! I'd rather have the protection a cage gives than nothing at all.

Especially as 2 of the cars are flimsy 205s

My car has a 6pt cage with single diagonal, but I've left the standard rear seats in as I like the interior and don't want to go for the stripped out look.

Wouldn't ever let anyone sit there though (even if they could fit!!)

Agreed.
Danny B hand makes complete cages.
He seems to have plenty of experience over the years building top fuel dragster chassis's.
