Roll Cage?

[Coogs]

Does anyone have a roll cage in their 80?

Looking to do something basic for protection at the moment as it is still a daily driver,
But playing a little to hard to have nothing

Does anyone know if you can buy a D.I.Y kit or something bolt in maybe?
Any help would be greatful

Have a look at (MYTTUFF) jonesy's 80 it has a cage in it and he'll probably tell you all about it.

I have just installed a cage in Jonesy's (MYTTUF) 80 series for the Vic Winch Challenge. Here's some pics.....







It is FULLY welded and has removalable backstays for competition use. The rear hoop replaced the Milford Cargo barrier and is no longer removable. The only function it has interfered with is the interior grab handles in the centre of the rear doors had to be removed and a modified interior light bracket had to be made.

I'm going to make another for myself but make the mesh and double diagonal braces removable as one piece as I like being able to remove the rear seat to sleep in the back or to tranport mowers, furniture etc. around.

Hope this gives you some ideas

Fish ,
The removable cross bracing and mesh is an awesome idea
Thanks heaps for the pics it looks exactly like what i need.
Would like to see a pic with the rear bits on, Do you have to have them for ccda regs?

Sorry I don't have any pics with the backstays fitted. They pick up the tags at the top of the rear hoop with demountable bushes made to CCDA specs and then bolt to the floor behind the rear tail lights.

Any CCDA accredited cages will have backstays for comp use (permanent or removable).

Looks great!

What are the chances of getting something like that engineered for road use? I mean it doesn't appear to impede entry/exit or interfere with seatbelts - but is there enough clearance between the cage and passengers heads etc? (i'm not really up to scratch with engineering requirements for cages)
