My brother wants to add a half cage to his 914. Any info from anyone running one would be greatly appreciated. Pro's and con's that you may have experienced?
Weld in or bolt in.. Either way works for us but leaning towards welding it in. TIA.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Plan your harness mounting along with putting in your half cage. Many times they tie together or may need to not interfere with each other. Might as well plan for racing seats too, they all need to work together.
The half rollbar I have allows the driver seat to go all the way back which is important for me at 6'0". I need to upgrade my padding to the harder SFI stuff. The half rollbar itself its probably not really needed, but makes be feel better incase of a roll at track events. Attached image(s)

And what brand is it? It came with my car so not entirely sure but I think its an autopower. The other thing though is this one bolts to the floor pan, it kind of interferes with the e-brake, still works but not as good. I think one that sits on the longs is better. |
