Hello everyone,
Been lurking for a while now and finally decide to join the forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I recently "acquired" a 914 track car that I'm currently rebuilding. I don't have the $ for a custom cage so I'm in the market for a weld in. I've been searching and have no luck in finding what I need. Does anyone sell a weld in roll cage that has side hoops that hug the A pillar and come down in "front" of the dash? I'm not a big fan of a bar that ties in the left and right side hoops that sits under the dash board. I would rather that bar sit closer to the front fire wall and above the steering column. That way I can install the dash over that bar. Sorry for the long post. Thanks, Ron |

We make custom cage kits. This is one we shipped to the west coast a couple months ago.

That is a great cage Chris. How many pieces are shipped? All of them? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The main hoop is fully assembled, and the Nascar door bars are tacked together for easier fitment while still allowing for adjustments. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) - Yea I meant to ask if that entire cage would slip into the drivers compartment and I guess the 1 / 2 is slip in the complete main hoop, then weld on the Nascar door bars. |

It's possible to assemble the basic structure into the car with a few tackwelds at each joint, then separate the front hoop assembly from the main hoop, and remove everything from the car for welding/painting. You have to leave connecting the two halves and welding in the door bars until the cage is permanently in the car. It actually takes a bit of effort to reinstall the two halves in the car because the fit is rather tight even after assembly. |
