I used those reddish plates also but got Bartletts to fit.

GET SOME PICTURES UP.

Mines 02, got it on the wings and rear arches.

I'll do my own version of that this year.

If the car is never going back to a std road car then weld in is the only option really. Bolt ins are a fair bit heavier (SD anyway)

Mines Safety devices one and goes through the dash.

Think its about 75kg from memory.

Custom cages t45 tube ,full cage seems to come light at under 50kg about £2000 Plus you then have to get it welded , from my research tig weld , probably a good week to weld up. I think there’s two choices for full t45 cages by them, mike has put a name in the pot regarding cage builders,,but I’ve not enquire as probably out of my price range, I’m hoping todo diy on mine ,, but my welding needs to improve but will get there ,,

Lightest option is a cage made from 25CRMO4 steel.
Or titanium but then its not FIA approved.
