197 Cup Racer Cage Help

[Squeak]

Hi I am trying to fabricvate the 197 cage into a poverty spec shell. I am getting near the end of it but i am unsure how i am going to mount the rear stays to the suspension pick up points at the rear of the car.

Are they welded into your car or do you put the suspension through the cage and fixed it with a washer and nut?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

Pictures would also be massively handy!​

Personally I'd weld everything down for more security and safety and peace of mind (please note I have no clue about roll cages or race spec things so take this opinion lightly)

Its meant to be bolted down with the rear suspension nuts, in the process of putting one in mine!

Thanks for the comments guys

Ben any chance of some pics please?

What pics do you want mate. I have some general ones or did you want some of how to mount the rear? Cage is being powdercoated at the moment so won't get a chance to take anymore pics until the weekend when it goes in the car.

Thanks

Thanks guys.

Pictures of down the tube for the rear mounting would be good. Not to sure if the rubber goes on first then the cage then the washer n nut or what?????

I'm now terrified im going to have to remove more trim than I wanted to based on those pictures! Will I have to remove seatbelt surrounding trim and headliner?

[Ben197]

Yeah, looks like its all coming out to get it in! I'll work something out though.
