Roll Cage wanted


ORIGINAL: rickware

I have a roll centre cage and it's easily fitted but if you have a sunroof you need to either cut the roof lining or fit some spacers on the hoop as it needs to go further forward than it is was designed to. very cheap though I paid £350 for mine

Any pics of the install?
 
A rear only costs about £160 (ex. VAT) for 'National' spec tube IIRC: the FIA 'big hoop spec about £230 ex. A complete 'National spec cage with door bars and fitting kit will be about £370 plus VAT.
 
its a full cage, go here for video that shows roll cage quite well. (now on silver 964 turbo wheels as orange ones are for track use!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLvW5hcj4XI
 
Seen that video before. Real nice car and the arch extensions are spot on.

You said you tilted the rear hoop forward. Does this clear the catches on the sunroof (not sure if you have them of the 951?) I guess the top bar now sits a 1/3 into the sunroof space. Did you ask Roll Centre if the top bar could adjusted to avoid the sunroof space?
 
Id be interested to hear how exactly the rear fitted, because I bought a cage when I didnt have a sunroof, but the part will end up in a car that does...
 
there isn't much to add as it just fits with a sunroof car and on the hoop ends you just have to make up a 4mm plate, weld that to the floor and then weld the hoop to the plate. I haven't welded mine yet as not got round to it but it is all prepared. the alternative is to fit it with the sunroof open so it all sits where it is supposed to and then grind about 2 inches at the sides of the sun roof where it hits. If you dont want to grind a gully then it does shut enough to keep it water tight if you don't mind it not being flush with the roof but i suggest a plate. Only thing to add is take a seat out when fitting the rear as it is miles easier.
