Scaffold bar: made from any old shyte and rat droppings dug out of a chinese sh*thole.  Featuring a large, weak seam down one side of the tube.

CDS: Made from, errrrr cold, drawn steel, to proper specification.

Using scaf bar for cages is a VERY bad idea, never mind the weight implications.  Don't do it.  You don't know how it will deform or snap.

Plus cage tubing should be mandrel bent, really

HTHs

The price of Custom Cages (or any of the other start-ups from ex-CC employees) means you are probably better off just buying a kit.  Think about where you're cross-bracing it though - a vertical brace may not work if you're 6'ish due to the size of the passenger compartment.

Good luck with that, I still can't find one!  Well not for reasonable miney anyway.  New they are about £350 - £500 and then you have to fit so not cheap.

What's the price of CDS?

[leeroy20vt]

only found one place so far £17 a metre i think its so dear cos its seamless as well but not 100% on that

and surely any sort of rollcage has got to be better than not having one ?

Amen to that.  How much tube do you think each cage has in it?
