Default Roll Cages

So I'm looking to fully cage the red car.
Due to the uncertainty of the current rear cage mounting points this will more than likely come out.
So options please?
I'm thinking bolt in as I just don't have the time available to strip the car, send it away for the work and rebuild it.
At least with the bolt in option I can do that myself Inc the welding in of the mounting boxes.

So options please.

Oh and does anyone have a multi point cage for sale?????

I put in a half cage can now only get three wheels in rear. A full cage mayor event wheels going in rear if side impact bars are welded in. Guy in Perth done mine made really good job

I trailer the car 99.9% of the time Derek and have a wheel rack on that so getting wheels in is not a problem.
Was that Dave Heard that fitted your cage? I'll have a look on the 28th

Having read the blue book it looks as though the rear cage will be fine, it has all the required reinforcing plates to spread the load etc. Its just that its fixed in a different place to the rest I have seen with the exception of Tankslapper's one.

I will give Matt a call and see what can be done
