Default Rollcage

Awsome project. Like the rollcage.
Looks like a do-it-yourself package.
Where can it be bought?

its a custom cages cage

the front half of there kit was used the rear had to be custom to fit turrets

the cage has had extra tube added to the front of the car to keep the front legs where there should be and it forms part of the sump guard

one thing i will say is the cage fitting was crap i paid for a profiled cage yet most profiles where incorrect

im a pipefitter welder by trade so it allowed me to fit my own cage

the quality really is unbelievable the sizes of the pistons and length of dampers are massive

will require

new hubs

new arms

new rear beam

new steering rack

more work but this mod will definatly be worth it!
