Default Classic wagon rollcage?

Is anyone making a rollcage for the classic wagon? Guess not...

Safety Devices make a "halfcage" for the saloon, what problems would arise trying to fit this in the wagon? -Or complete saloon rollcages in general?

I need a rollcage, I've had too many frightening moments at trackdays. I'm also considering a competition rollcage, to help stiffen the chassis as well.

The problem you will find with a saloon cage is the rear mount pickups- I'm fairly sure that the rear turrets in a wagon will be in a different place to the saloon.

Maybe email safety devices and ask their advice. Someone must be able to offer advice for caging a wagon. Harvey?

I once saw a removable roll cage for a wagon on here for only £200...So someone must do them, try searching the classifieds for the ad, the guy who had it might know who makes them.

Any advice on this? Please!?
During the winter I have fun running on ice tracks - but this year they demand a roll cage when running with rally stud tires on the car.
My guess is that the front part of the cage will fit, but that there will be some differences for the rear pickup points of the cage.

My guess would be that it would fit since I think the floorpans are the same. Should be fairly easy to work out with a tape measure if you know someone with one fitted.

So those anyone know by now if a GC8 rollcage fits in the GF8?

I was able to buy a GC8 one for little money made by www.heigo.de, but didn't notice there are two types of rollcage: Cars with and w/o sun roof. Rollcages made for cars w/o sun roof won't fit cars having one. So be careful selecting.
