rear cage

[yellow_chris]

What's peoples opinions on these? I've been offered one at a good price and I'm really tempted!

 

[Silent_Scone]

If you mean half cage they're still a good measure and in the 'unlikely' event of a roll will still hold up fairly well. Just don't expect to go racing with it!

 

[yellow_chris]

Yeh its a rear half cage. I can get it for uner £100 so tempted! Because it has the lower bar at the bottom,can I use that as a harness point?

 

[Struggler]

as long as its not a show cage id defs take it for that price!!
you can always sell it on if you change your mind!!

personally i love cages, they make a car look so purposeful!
if you're using it as a harness bar, please make sure its a suitable cage and mounted correctly!!

it will hike your insurance premium through the roof if you tell them!

 

[yellow_chris]

It is a real roll cage lol..I've got photos from the guy that has the cage but they are on my phone. All I need once I buy it is the bolts to bolt it in place

 

[IWANT1.]

[yellow_chris]

Might be getting it tonight now

Harness belts should be at least horizontal or down at a shallow angle....Google compression spine fracture.
If the belts go downwards after the seat you run the risk of this in a crash, as the forces involved will have to run along the belts and you being the squishy bit underneath them.

Mine only went up £35 quid a year for half cage, lowered and fully poly bushed!

i dont know what make it is.. It comes in 3 pieces : 1 Across the 2 rear struts, 1 going from the floor beside the bottom of the b pillars all round to the top and across the roof, 3 and last is like a cross piece that joins the 2 pieces together. will get a photos in a min

 

[yellow_chris]

thats the only photos i have at the moment

Il be honest and say at this moment im unsure if it is a real cage or just for show.. the cage is really sturdy and not the lightest(feels like the metal is quite thick)

IMO that yellow cage, wont suit your car tbh. no matter what colour it is.

 

[yellow_chris]

[Aaron182.]

may aswell get some bucket seats to fill the empty space now.

 

[yellow_chris]

[Aaron182.]

no in the front. big empty space between the head rests and the cage.

 

[yellow_chris]

gloss black cage
ktec carpet with yellow lining
Yellow TRS harnesses
