depends what after really


Danny is doing my cage for me but its massive multipoint cage with loads of diagonals etc..

For a basic 6 point cage then you may as well go to www.eurorallye.co.uk if they still have some safety device ones for sale, which were about Ł450 with door bars and it comes built and is a bolt in one.

if not contact Safety Device direct as they should keep them instock if they are still in business.

Mine is a weld in multipoint from the engine bay to the rear turrets etc. which is why I've asked Danny to do it as without doubt he has to be one of the best people to carry out that sort of work

got pics if you want some ideas

Hi guy's thought I best reply As I seem to be getting mentioned

KA ZETEC has an 8point track day cage that meets the MSA regs so could be used in various classes of competition,
JonnyBravo is supply a custom cages pre bent cage as they already have them for his car, and to be honest they are good value for there money, I will be fitting this as he needs other work doing asa he's already mentioned.
I'm quite happy to fit the custom cages products for people however if the customer wants something tailor made to there car and there driving position then I'll do the complete cage in house at Adrenaline Race & Performance.

Danny, are all your cages proper weld in multipoint, or would you do something along the lines of an SD cage that could be bolted in ?

What kind of prices are we looking at?

One off bolt in cages start Ł115+vat per point in CDS and mig welded, extra for Tig Welding, Cro-moly or T45 tubing. We can offer powder coating as an extra also.

one thing I have alrweady noticed from the custom cage i'm using and the one Danny made for the KA is thatthe KA cage sits much tighter to the bodyshell which can be a good reason to get one made rather than buy a ready made cage.

Either way I'll be happy with what I get and I know it will be fitted just how I want it so I'll be looking forward to getting it all compelted and back on the road
