Hi, I am a 944 owner so sorry for the interuption but I have seen several 968's with a half rear cage that seems to bolt into the existing seatbelt mounts and has a harness bar. I can't seem to find who makes them anywhere on the internet and wondered if someone knows? Also, I am thinking of changing to a 968 and wondered if anyone fancied taking a track 944 turbo (road legal) in part exchange!
 
Heigo.de do them for 964s..............would be surprised if they did not cater for 944/968 models too
 
Yes Heigo did used to make them. But most probably the ones youve seen recently were a batch designed by our very own PJS917. He in conjunction with a reputable roll cage manufacturer did a small batch. If you contact him, somehow via pms he might be able to help out...

Ive asked numerous times....[;)][8|][;)][8|] And got the same response... Anybody that knows Kev / Alex will know what im on about....[;)][:D][;)][8|][;)][8|][:D]
 
I know exactly what Big Dave's talking about, bolt-in cages tend to make Kev tad tetchy!!

............. that is because he wants all his customers to have long healthy lives and continue to spend their money at EMC - Kevin takes Safety very seriously and it is a no compromise area of his business.
 
Nowt wrong with a bolt in, the foot plates & speder plates have to be welded in place if done properly anyway & biggest spank a pal has had on track- at 'ring a good 6 rolls at 90+mph downhill, engine & gearbox ended up 200metres away type spank, bolt in safety devices cage & he was fine. EMC put the bolt SD cage in my car before my ownership, however & I can't quite work out how its got its scruitineers stamps, the A pillar mounts have no plate under them, which isnt really ideal..
 
I would be very very choosy about who I got to instal a weld in cage. Done properly they no doubt have many advantages over bolt in. Sure EMC one would be 100%.... I have seen several 'professionally' welded in cages with some joints not fully welded. Worst one had some silicon sealant applied to cover the difficult to get to missed weld!!! A bolt in cage can be installed by someone far less skilled and still be OK. Obviously the better it's fitted, the better it will be. Dedicated full race/rally car = weld in preferred Road/occasional trackday car = bolt in fine (rear cage only preferred as un-helmetted heads and front roll cages don't mix well)
 
I have a Half cage, bolt in from safety devices. EMC would only sell full cage. If you explain to Safety devices you only want half cage (bolt in), they should help you out, they did with me!
 
Fabricage in Cambridge would make you one to fit, might need your car for a few days but they made mine for my Stratos Replica from a drawing done by a friend. Scruitineer says one of the best fits he has seen. I rallied a SD1 rover for years with a bolt in full cage including removable diagonal. As previously stated as long a spreader plates are installed correctly and the correct spec of bolts used then there will not be a problem. Not quite as strong as weld in but not as big a diffirence as you might think.
 
blimey... lost of people saying that Kevin is "curt" with them, you all must have got him on a bad day... he's never been anything other than polite, accomodating and friendly when I've spoken to him...[;)] ...oh wait no... I'm lying [:(] he's a git most of the time! You can buy a weld in cage and only have half of it fitted.... but yes it does mean that you compromise your cars usage. personally I would trust anything that bolts into the seatbelt mountings. My brother had a very nice bolt in half cage from roll centre, they even added an additional short horizontal for the harnesses.
