Fitting rear cage?

[scooby-93]

Ive bought a rear cage from ebay for my 182, all the interior apart from drivers seat and dash is removed, tried to get cage in via passenger side door with no luck, has anyone got any tips or advice to getting it in?

or will I have to remove the drivers seat aswell?

Thanks

Guess you will struggle without taking both seats out, I took one look at mine and thought it would be easier to undo two bolts and take the drivers seat out too!

Will take two minutes to take the seat out

Ok seat out it is then, did yours go straight in with both seats out?

both seats out, 2 people are needed really .... tilt cage back front feet up by dash, 1 person either side of car and carry it through, then push it back into place and give it a few firm taps to get it in nive and tight mark holes to drill ... remove cage and paint it tidy ... then refit

Just weld the spreader plates in IMO mate, will be just as good and you don't limit yourself to changing it or upgrading to full cage etc at a later date.
