Sparco 10p Cage

[NickS]

Perfect, thanks...is there any specific reason (rulebook, time/cost) you attached the rear 'stays' to the front of the rear wheelarch? How difficult was it to weld near the B-pillars (did you tilt/drop the cage to weld those?)?
I'm slowly working my way towards welding in a rollbar for one of my e30's and trying to wrap my head around the process.

How's this?

155///MPH, nice setup, do you have any more pictures of the rear portion of the cage?

Hmm the vsr/autopower ones wont really work in a RHD car. They seem to have to have an indent for the driver seat etc. I could butcher one up and get it the right way around i suppose.

I know there's no such thing as overkill when it comes to safety, but that cage there is way too much for me. Especially when i need to attempt to get the car licenced with a huge chev under the bonnet. That's why i would've liked that 10 point bolt in one, i wont be using a backseat anyway.

Do any available cages go to the rear shock towers? I'd like to beef the rear end up by running some of the cage down to the diff mount too. A fully custom cage would cost a shite load down here, unless i built it myself. Dont have a pipe bender or a mig though, it'd take aaaages with a tig.

Here is a shot of mine.

I had a similar bolt in cage in my track car when I bought it. I cut it out the next day. Fitment was terrible as it is designed to go over a stock interior. This puts the bars VERY close to the driver. Also, that door bar is virtually useless.

I'd either gut the interior and put in a proper cage, or just use a bolt in roll bar and keep the interior.

Has anyone had experience with one of these cages? I'm considering getting one for my car, it's only 1300aus shipped here which will be a heap cheaper than getting a custom cage made up.

The car will be used for track action, both corners and a straight line. Will also get a fair bit of street driving too. Also might need to be removable for licencing purposes too.
