Thats just 1 place doing them seeing as you asked

Now if you expand and tell us what type of cossie, if you want weld in, bolt in, or velcro then im sure there are other alternatives which you could choose from

So you don't want a Roll cage... you want some shiny metal Tubes in the back of your car. Have you considered Jumbo sized Toilet rolls and some silver paint?

by far the best and cheapest route for a 'show' cage is to pop down to b&q and visit the plumbing section, there you will find roll cages in kit for in either black or white. i would go for the white 1.5" waste tube with push on bends..........

These B&Q cages are suprisingly strong. We tested one in morroco and found they were more than upto the task. This was 1.5' waste tube, BUT we used 'prit stick' in the push on sections for added strength.

Its little 'Tuners tips' like this that make PF what it is today.

No problem ARMOURER,

Peter Lloyd does a Safety Devices 6 point bolt in for Ł409, Custom Cages and Roll Centre do weld in cages for around the Ł485 mark HTH

Bear in mind there are different types of tubing available which will affect the price. It should be a minimum of CDS tube 38mmx2.5mm, 42mmx2mm or 50mm x 2mm. The next and more expensive stage up is T45, which is special lightweight tubing but retains strength.

If you contact them ask them exactly what your getting or what they are quoting for

thats a great tip PORKIE, I see you both went for the blue ribbon option instead of seatbelts, Mmm very attractive.
But seriously why have even more crap stuck in the car to cause injury in the event of an accident, if its there it should work/ do something and not just look good surely?
