Ok - I begin to get the picture.....
Just remember that a cage has too feed its loads into something. No point having a full cage and bolting it to crappy sheetmetal that will punch through in a rollover.
The standard "bar" is surprisingly strong, have seen a few rollovers at the wreckers and they take a hell of a pounding, but without the factory rear bar the rear roof section is a problem.
Don't know where your from but if you want to be legal you might have some major challenges, there are lots of regulations re "distance to...." that make small vehicles a challenge.
Now if you want to be really "cagey" then why not go for an exo ?

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

NCOP is on the way in,and will be increasingly applied - but there are individual regs and variations for each state as well, so its a minefield.
An approved cage is also far from cheap even if its possible / legal.
Not being an expert, my guess would be that anything that changes the rollover protection of a vehicle would be viewed with great concern by the authorities who tend to say no first..... just to be "safe".
The risk to life and limb from getting it wrong is substantial.

Not just that, but if the B Pillar is ditched, it also takes the seat belt mounting point with it. Messing around with seat belt mounting points can become a real pain trying to get engineered.MightyMouse wrote:Not being an expert, my guess would be that anything that changes the rollover protection of a vehicle would be viewed with great concern by the authorities who tend to say no first..... just to be "safe".
If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?
