Would a cage from a 197 fit a 172?

[Kizza9]

As the title states. I've found a cage but it has come out of a 197, would this fit in my 172 or will it be too big?

Cheers

Full cage or half? Proper or show? I'll be very surprised if it fits without needing quite a bit of work.

i think someone tried it and i dont think it worked

It will fit but poorly and needs a lot of work.

It's a Genuine Clio Cup Cage... Here's some pics

Will need modding, quite a bit and won't be easy.

I would be better off getting this then really?

Depends what you're caging it for. The link you posted looks fine for more 'show' type cages, but i'd be wanting a stronger one for more track / race focused activity. The guy in your link does do higher quality / stronger cages as additional options, but the cost rises to near OMP / Sparco costs I believe when you do choose them.

I would be looking to do a couple of track days

It comes down to piece of mind then. The link you posted has plenty of debate in as to whether you want to chance it or not, so I won't repeat it. I'll be getting a 'proper' one in mine, on the basis I'll be tracking mine quite a bit in the next few years, so my logic is I'll pay for something designed to help me in a crash, not risk it doing the opposite in order to save a few pounds.

Ok cool. Cheers for your help mate
