Removing An Omp Cage

[Andy M1tchell 0]

Hi again

 

I am currently in the process of removing an OMP roll cage from a 205 I have recently bought, I know this topic has probably been covered before but is it necessary to drop the rear beam a little in order to gain clearance?

This cage is being a real pig to get out, I'm sorry but I have never had any experiences with roll cages in the past they are not my thing!

 

Ok thanx if you are able to helpl

i had to do this the other day and it was a bit of a pain in the arse!

have you removed the front section first? if not,go so. you dont need to drop the beam,i just levered mine up with a flat bar,once you get it over the studs it just needs a bit of tugging to get it out.plus it was easier with all seats removed if you have not allready done so.

Hi guys

 

Thanx I tryed levering the rear section up over the rear beam studs yesterday but my roof started to kink and creek the 205 has a sunroof so i stopped in case of damage.

I will just have to persevere!

Yes I will be selling the roll cage as soon as i get it out it cost £380 brand new 1 year ago and has only seen 2 track days it is an OMP rollcage with the removable side bars across the doors.

just a question, why are you removing the roll cage?

Missed this but I think the front mounting feet don;t help either as with out these the cage can be tilted with ease and I know with these in place it's a pain in the back side to get them out, So mush so in the one I did I just got the paint shop to spray around it.

Hi mate,

 

If you have to know they are not really my thing my past 5 205 gti's never had em in either. I recently sold my 8Valve turbo 205 for about £2000 as I am basically fed up with the 8 valvers now and bought another 205 with very low miles and a better shell.

The previous owner had stripped it fitted it with a roll cage, cobra buckets with Luke harnesses and webber carbs and used it as a track car.

 

I want to put it back together to how it used to be I have it booked in for next week for a full respray and I have bought a ltd edition full interior including full leather seats out of a miami.

 

I plan to put in a gti6 engine but still undecided with the Mi16 !!!!!

 

With the roll cage still in the car means I cant use my wing mirrors properly in road use and also will be pretty sh*te for rear seat passengers

 

Just my personal preferneces I guess
