i have heard of ill fitting issues with the OMP cages but this was on Clubgti

I would have thought that any "off the shelf" cage will have some fitting issues, most cars will be slightly different and the body shell stressed and twisted in different areas. The plus side of an off the shelf cage is less welding to get the cage into the car, floor plates and door bars, rather than a kit of parts that all require welding together like the custom cages core kits. All depends on what you want and whether you have to pay someone for the welding. I'm not decided which way to go yet.

im very much a maybe as im not sure the project will be on the road this year yet...  :huh:

Yes, no obligation, only trying to sort out prices so a decision can be made to go ahead or wait till a later date.

Is anyone contacting custom cages?

Cheers

I have no problems with welding out any issues with a supplied cage.....so long as the bars aren't too short!

I'll email Custom Cages on Monday to see what they have to say.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Holiday cottages on the Isle of Wight for 2-10 people? PM me.

is that inc vat?

where do you bolt the cages? do you need to drill the floorpan/chassis?


I don't think a semi will give the same results

Yes including the dreaded VAT

As far as I know you need to weld stiffening plates to the floor etc then drill through plates and floor etc to bolt the cage in.
