Bolt in cages spreader plates

[Raceface_13]

So iv brought a full bolt in cage (made by sassa) it comes with spreader plates that need to be cut down (120mm squared if im correct) my plan was to put a plate inside and outside the car but iv read on a different forum that its not needed...my general thought is more strength the better or am i going OTT? Car is only used as a daily with the odd trackday in mind not competing, just want to do the job right. Plates will be welded in in the future.

If the cage is SASSA, did you buy it from TF Rallye Sport? (Tim Finch).

Probably worth dropping him a line and seeing what he suggests, when it comes to cage and track safety he won't steer you wrongly.

It was indeed from tim finch. Ill drop him a message tomoz and see what he suggests.

Just for people reference. Plate is needed inside and out

Just make sure you have sufficient padding, especially around the head area as in a crash on the road it could do more harm than good. Presume you'll also be running seats and harnesses?

Yea paddings on order, dont fancy headbutting anything. Seats will be brought when they are back in stock along with harnesses

maybe a bump to the head might help

Corbeau I assume, nice seats!
Couldn't help you on sizes, that's down to your personal preference.

I've got the Clubsport XL mate, size wise id say if you are under a 36" waist and less than 6ft then go with the standard size. I'm 6ft with a 34-36" waist and 14st and its just a tad to wide for me, but I have quite narrow hips, whereas my pal who is 18st, 6ft and a 40" waist fits in them as snug as a bug, but maybe they're a tad to small for him.

Hope that helps.

Awesome thanks bud appreciate it. Im a 34" and 12stone/6ft so ill go with the standard ones. Iv sat in a standard recaro pole position my next door neighbour has and that fits me perfectly and i think they are about the same dimensions. Thanks again
