*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...
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
