I need to keep looking then, that would be £255 - £340 just for the tube.

Custom cages prices:

Golf Mk 2 Multipoint

Material: CDS
Product Code: VWG2/06
Weight: 50.5 kg
Compliance: MSA *
Price: £616.40
Fitted: £1699.70
Prices excl. VAT/national taxes

That's £723.80 or £1997.15 fitted including VAT or £739.68 or £2039.64 fitted next year..

Golf Mk 2 Club is £425.69 (£500.19 including VAT or £510.83 next year)for the only one worth having and that looks like it should have a few more tubes fitted.

That's a hell of a lot of money and makes the idea of a home grown solution a real option, even if it would be with lesser materials.

So buy some same-spec CDS and add in the extra bars 

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

You're surrounding yourself with lots of very hard steel.  I'd want to be bloody sure none of it was going to come and get me unexpectedly.

I'm in two minds about a roll cage.

Pro's - Safety in the event of an accident, added stiffness to the chassis, somewhere decent to attach your harnesses

Cons - Cost, weight, danger to your head if you drive the car on the road without a helmet, pain in the a*se to get in and out of the car.

A few other questions would also need to be answered:

Does the cage make the car safer in an accident if it doesn't roll?
Can you get out quick enough in an accident with a fire?
Does the extra chassis stiffness counteract the extra weight?

I would probably go for one if I had the spare cash, knew someone I trusted to install it, and was made of rubber to aid getting in / out.

I've waited nearly 3 years so will probably leave it until I can find a cheap one.
