sorry but the only real cages are weld in !!





bolt in was only used to passify group n regulation as was , they do very little to strengthen the shell as well as provide passenger safty cells

only banter mate

i know fully welded cages with bars everywhere are better but for what i need and for the money i payed for the shell am not complaning
its all fia aproved stamped and each part has 909 stamped on it and all the bits where ford suplled you know the stuff
double skined inner wings,floorsbox out chaissie rails along the whole of the car boxed out rear,twin fillers,
am sure you know it all when it comes to rally cars mate
am just a track day virgin

hope your still comeing to the party

wasnt having a go m8 !! , any cage is better than no cage if you ask me !!! , and with a beats like yours a cage is a prevention !! the saying goes , if youve got it you wont have to use it !!
the very basic bolt in cages really are not worth a shit tho !! , the multi point like yours prob has about 60 bolts holding itself together and to the body ?, we know that they are a good safty measure other wise they wouldnt have got FIA approval

and when is this party happening m8 !! ???

Is there a general rule of thumb as to roughly how much weight a roll cage adds to the car, and who's the cage made by in the pic of the red RST, its awesome to have that on an RST!
