Basic Roll Cage Options And Saftey

[sleeperZ31GTR]

Risking- couldn't agree with you more. I'm building a JZA80 Abflug and it's an aero.

We bought a Cusco bolt in cage and F*** me was it shit.

I looked at the sandwich plate design to the floor pan and laughed.

Ended up chopping it all up, completely redesigning it, added bolt in side intrusion bars and made the hole thing completely bolt it.

Now it'll actually do its job both safety and rigidity.

I'm surprised these cages are designed so close to the occupants. I spose it's the easiest way.

Just a quick update.

Brad has messaged me this morning to confirm he's received my messages and has ensured my order will be filled.

He also noted I am the only person who's emailed him, as that's his referred method at the moment so keep that in mind.

There has been alot of things going on with the workshop recently and there has been some delays guys that I'm apologetic about.

There has also been some massive changes made to retify what's been going on which is personal and won't be shared freely.

I've been contacted by dan and a couple of others now via email and I appreciate the contact through that channel which is greatly preferred at this time.

I must stress through the only email to contact me via is [email protected]

The work quality I refuse to let slip away which is why the delays have occurred. With the time I've been putting into some other things some jobs have taken a bit of time to complete to the high standard I hold myself to and all I can do is apologise for that.

Is rather be know at this time to be slow and have good work that be fast and produce rubbish quality which I feel would tarnish my reputation more than a time frame issue.

Personal issues is an understatement at the moment.

The two cages you guys ordered are complete (photos have been seen) getting them sent off at a reasonable cost (considering I did free freight) and trying to get it into my spare time atm has been difficult.

Next week is a new week and will see them in your hands.

We're now into the second week after you mentioned the above.

Can we get a con number please, I'm happy with a refund also if you'd prefer. If so, let me know and I'll PM you my bank details.

Sent to your email also.

Did you end up collecting your car?

[DCIEVE]

Looks like a lot of people are biting their tongue in the hopes of a favorable resolution. I wonder how long that can last?

[No Crust Racing]

My cages have been sent, whether that's because I was fairly persistent in my nagging or because Brad has sorted things out and is clearing up a back log of work is not known to me, I'll be glad to get my hands on it though, put it in the car, and get my ass track side.

This. Very much this haha.

I collected the cages today, when I get time I'll install it and can then comment on the quality/fit etc.

Mine has basically worn off

[timmy_89]

how did the quality of the cage turn out and any pics to post?

[No Crust Racing]

Here's some pics.

You can see what's needed to install the main hoop.

A plate is welded to the floor pan that has captive nuts on the back (you must drill holes for them to recess into). You then bolt the cage to the welded floor plates. The back stays are just bolted in like a normal bolt in cage.

The cage itself seems quite decent and a few people commented on it being a fully welded design, getting it in the car was not that hard - with a ratchet strap to compress the main hoop a little for clearance.

All in all it seems decent, though I wonder if I should have just put a full cage in it and been done with it... ?

The experience of obtaining it has mentally scarred me

Looks similar to an AGI cage
No washers on the bolts?

[No Crust Racing]

The AGI was a slip joint, bolt together for more money than this cost as I chatted with them also.

That said, many have said the experience is good with them.

Oh as for washers, didn't come with any and while you might get some on the front two holes, you'd be hard pressed to get anything useful on the back.

I was very happy with my cage except the paint peeled very easily on it. Apart from that (and the ordeal of actually getting the thing) it was pretty good.

For everyone else playing at home, Josh and I ordered cages together (and got free freight) but it took.... err how long Josh? I can't even remember now, 3-6mths?
