10 Point Omp Cage Fitment

[Silky 33 1 Cars]

Myself and Alex (Boombang) are going to start fitting my 10pt OMP cage into my GTI this Sunday

 

I have already sourced plenty of steel from a friend to make the box sections to mount the cage feet on.

 

What I need to know from someone who has fitted one of these cages before is

 

How many bolts will I need

What length should I use

What grade of steel

 

I was going to get 50 nuts+bolts 12.9 Grade, would this be sufficient or too much ? (quantity + grade)

 

What length do I need and do they need to have a shank on them at all ?

 

Thanks

Michael

14 bolts for the feet, 2 seatbelt bolts for the B pillars and some smallers bolts for infront of the windscreen. We used 10.9 so 12.9 should be plenty.

I wouldnt get a shank as the foot it goes through is fairly thin, length wise I can't remember but it can be fairly long as it will just sit inside the box section, just makes it a pain to remove if you have to.

Not as many needed as I thought then, my friend works next to a fastneners so I can ask him to get them for me.

 

So going by that Jrod I could do with

 

Quantity 30

M10 x 40mm length

12.9 Grade

acording to the msa you can use m8 8.8 minimum,

 

not sure if m10 slightly big for the original holes?

 

surely m8 with a higher grade than minimum

 

so where do the plates above the windscreen bolt to, or do you have to weld plates on?

All my bolts for my SD cage are 12.9 M10x30mm. Cant remember how many I needed but 36 is in my head for some reason.

Any washers need or just the bolts and nyloc nuts ?

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Yer you need washers but cant remember how many ive got all that as stock items.

8 x 25 is plenty for the feet and m10s for the diagonal in the back

 

Oh yeah I used 10.9 black allen key button head bolts m8 x 25, they looked the part .
