Roll Cage Sizes

[applemobile 0]

I been looking around for a full roll cage that will allow me to still get passengers in the back seats. The prices i been quoted are astronomical, so i want to set upon the task of buildin one my self. Im not after fia aproved, its just for a mix of asthetics, and to keep the girlfriend happy after i rolled my nova and crushed the roof! Does anyone know where i can get hold of some blue prints, of some measurements, that i can base my design on. I have tried to messure up my self, but i still have the interior in, as i need it day to day, and measuring up is not as easy as it sounds.

A cage is not a good idea.

The only time I'd use a cage is with proper bucket seats, harnesses and if it was well padded. (and even then i moan I want to wear a helmet.)

 

Maybe to make her a bit happier drive slower?

driving slow round a track kinda defeats the object a little

Honestly if the car is going to be used on the road daily I would not fit a cage unless you are wearing harnesses.

 

 

Don't take her on trackdays if she doesnt like driving fast?

Most insurers will not insure you for a roll cage with rear seats still in, as passengers in the back tend to headbutt the cage and split their skulls open in an impact, so be very careful.

You might want to have a read through THIS and then make your mind up about whether or not you want a cage in a daily driver.
