    FAO Those With Existing Safety Devices Roll Cage, Msa Eligibilty

    It may be in keeping with the bluebook regs as you say but just having a reinforcement plate that looks like it's being welded in by a gorilla welded to the floor on the front legs will still allow the floor to flex somewhat, the box also ties in the sill equalling a more ridged mounting point...

    FAO Those With Existing Safety Devices Roll Cage, Msa Eligibilty

    As others have already said, I'm not keen on the harness bar position seems rather low. And also how it bolts to car is crap in my opinion. Would much prefer to see it sat on mounting boxes that welds to the sills and floor. That's what I always do when I build cages.

    FAO Those With Existing Safety Devices Roll Cage, Msa Eligibilty

    Don't need your car to build a cage as I have a spare shell i build them in so just a cage of bringing to be fitted. Can fit a cage in a day if the car is stripped of carpets and trims etc and the dash top has been off before and passenger airbag removed.
