Roll Cages

[Nick172Cup]

Can someone explain to me the difference between a 6 point and a 10 point? Been looking on Google and been putting both 6 and 10 points and they look pretty much the same? :S

6 point - http://www.gprdirect.com/media/cata...918340_rollbar-4-rid-111206_quality80_100.jpg

10 point - http://www.mayesmotorsport.co.uk/cms/catalog/67_0.jpg

Cheers
Nick

The second picture isnt a 10 point cage by the looks of it

Oh right, might well be advertised wrong then. If you look a third of the way down the list on this link, do you reckon that for £570 a 10 point bolt in cage is cheap?

and

If its a 10 point, then it seems good value

That first one looks extreme but awesome! I'm looking for a bolt in cage for ease to take out an sell if needed to if I ever decide to sell the car. There cant be a massive difference between a bolted and welded cage.

I always thought that a 10 point cage would have 10 points of connection to the body but maybe I was wrong. :S

So those little tabs are classed as 'points' then??

I never knew that!

Everyday is like a school day with you Mr Hunter.

Lol! Cheers for clearing that up though! So a 6 point will be perfect for the job.
