    What sort of prices were Bond talking about for a bolt in cage?
    Im considering a bolt in section for the TA22.

    Make sure you specify you want you cage to meet homoligation specs(whats in the book)
    Otherwise it means nothing,
    if the cage isnt a homoligation cage then its free design and you need to spend a grand or so getting a engineer to run simulations and sign off on it saying it meets specs before cams will recognise it

    Guy in my group at works dad is the guy who owns/runs that, i've been there and looked at their work, i'm no rollcage expert, but they looked tidy and well made to me, certainly 500% better than the cage in the car i was driving

    primary obejective of a roll cage is to make sure u dont die if you crash your car. this happens by making a shell inside the car shell if that makes sense, that inner shell being near indestructable therefore saving you in a crash,

    A fellow i used to work for had a very quick rx7 that he rolled end over end on the freeway going a bit fast, he insits hed be dead if it wasnt for the roll cage, as that was about all that was left of the car.

    but yes "any" sort of steel welded/ bolted into your car is going to make it a stiffer body.

    They appear to have moved to mulgrave - thought the 45 number was a bit odd. I assume its the same place that used to be near Lidcombe / Berala, forget the suburb now

    Would they have a jig for popular model such as an AE86 or would they have to custom make one and having the vehicle on site. The reason I ask is that for an interstate person such as myself it would be great to just order one to my requirements and then get it delivered. Had anyone done it this way.

    Cheers
