Roll cage fitment

[Ph1 Tom]

Looking at the Safety Devices 6 point bolt in cage with removable diagonal and harness bar. This is exactly what I'm after.

But...

Will I still have full use of the rear seats as SD suggest?

Will the glovebox still open (it looks quite close in pictures)?

Do the side air bags need removing or does the cage avoid these?

Basically I take the family out occasionally and I need to use their seats in the back. But I want the diagonal and harness bar for track days.

looking at the picture I've seen it doesn't look like you would get to the back seat or the glove box

I asked SD themselves and they said they don't know and forwarded the email to Mark Fish.

I've got this cage. Rear seats can't be used and have to be removed, and you can't get in the glovebox.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

That's pants! Why advertise it as being suitable for keeping the rear seats?!

I've gone for the SD half rear cage, my reasons being that the nurburgring is my most favourite track to use whenever possible, and with the 2013 rules changing slightly about cages and door bars restricting access unless you are on a closed trackday, i didn't want the drama of being turned away.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

The door bars are removable though so you could just take them out.

 

[Kelv]

Yes I understand that, but as said those reasons are mine.
the car isn't a road car so it seems pointless to keep fitting and unfitting a door bar just for the car to go back on to a trailer!

I had this cage and if you remove the rear diagonal you could in theory use the seats but in the event of a crash I would think it would be very likely of you hitting the cage so I never had anyone in the back.
