hilux cage B pillar problem

Post by chunderlicious »

id love to know how you guys have mounted internals into ln65s etc. without removing the seatbelt. no matter how i look at it it has to go. unless i lean the whole B hoop toward the back from infront of the belt and i really dont like this at all. i dont want to squash the pipe to fit by, i dont want to bend it to fit past.

this is getting made from 32 NB pipe, for safety only, not comps... the car is a basher and i just want extra protection.

thanx anyone
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

I have seen one in a hilux that had a tab off the b pillar accross the seat belt hole so that the seat belt bolted through the tab as well as the body most cages the seat belts mount on the cage anyway...might be able to get pics if you need some.

Any roll cage has to be engineered for street use well in nsw it does.

in vic..

as long as the vic roads guidlines are followed to the letter then you dont need to engineer it.

however this includes that the cage must not me mounted using existing seat belt mounts and that the seatbelts are not changed or itefered with in any way.

Here are some pics of the AllPro cage kit. You need to bend the bottom section of the tube inwards towards the tunnel to clear the seatbelt.

im not to familar with the models, but in my lux, i mounted the main hoop behind the seatbelts. Mainly becasue of my seating position in the car. Its a dual cab too, so had a bit of room in the back
