*sigh*
Why would you want to put a load of scaffold tubes around your head in a road-going car?
Rollcage = cage + bucket seats + 5/6 point harnesses + cage padding or go home.
And please don't countenance putting in a half-cage. You sit in the unprotected bit.
Hi Thom. Sorry - got distracted doing some other interwebs stuff...

They will keep asking.

No need for a roll cage in a mk2! Many years ago I rolled over twice in a c plate with out a scratch. fooking roundabouts!
-
I will tell him that too :wink:

Just embarassed myself at work giggling like tard.

If you need a roll cage, you're doing it wrong...
-
agreed with dh on this one, we get to see a fair few track and race cars and i smack my head on the cages all the bloody time just moving them around the workshop, any cage that doesnt interfere with getting in and out is probably not going to do a lot (except brain you) and any proper cage that will noticeably stiffen the shell and hopefully affect your chances if the worst happens will see you exiting the car shoulders --> bum --> ankles and then laying in the dirt which is far from cool, oh and it will still smack yo on the head, and hip, and elbow probably

you just gota laugh at the in depth drawing :grin:
-
A half cage fitted properly , where the top tube is the correct amount above your head and your sitting furthur back , and draw a line from the top of the cage to IE the chasis legs you'd be hidden from the drawing.
If your pretty far over 6ft your heads under the bar and just behind it ,

Bollox.
In the scenario you described you're going to be in contact with the rear triangle. :rolleyes:
Plus most half-cages aren't 'the correct amount above your head' because they're utter garbage.

In contact.? just wondered whats this your head can hit it , or in your drawing your still going to get hit ?

Again in a proper sentence?
-
in a crash that makes your car look like the picture your head will go lots of places at speed, cages work in racecars with proper bucket seats sat low, harnesses so restrictive peeping out of junctions is impossible and a proper helmet and bar padding, miss any of the above and have a big off and your skull will change shape
-
I like your views, but not your grammar. :grin:
