i'm currently struggling to complete the install of my Complete Weld in Sparco roll cage that i got from Demon tweakes.

Has anyone got any pictures of a Scooby with this roll cage fitted or any ideas???

Cheers Chris.

 

Which bit are you struggling with Chris?

 

Chris, the Safety Devices 6 piont cage is a bi*ch if it is any consolation.......

You can't really compare a full "weld in" cage, with a 6 point bolt in.

Mark.

 

So far i have got the following installed....

The Main U - shape tube in the centre. Then from that the a-pillar tubes, the x-pieces by the doors, the screen bar(across top) and the large x-piece in the back (u shape up to rear struts) .....confused yet.

There are six tubes left (3 each side) and i am unsure of their positions ?????

1 long 1 medium and 1 short.

i'll try and get some pictures sorted.

 

How much was it?

David

 

Can't remeber exactly but it was about £350-£400.

 

Desparate to see some roll cage pictures in scoobs. Also have a querry about the bolt in type,....
where do the bolt on to?? Can you use say the seat frames and existing mounting points in the car, or do you have to drill!!!

yes you would have to drill..

David

 

When I get my drilled & installed, I'll post some pics

 

Removable roll cages bolt in onto rear strut tops and rear seat belt mountings and then are cross braced to hold the main hoop behind the drivers seats, which itself has a cross bar down at floor level. So no front legs etc.. and no drilling

 

ptmw.. have you had a custom one done??

I still need to source one

David

 

The Safety Devices 6 pont I have uses weld in pads for the A and B post mountings, and the C post needs drilling the body just infront of the rear top mounts. This makes the rear seat pretty useless, though my 17 year old (slim) daughter fits in behind my seat.
I hill climb the car so functionality is high on the agenda!
These cages are not that easy if you are keeping the car 'roadable'.
Graham

 

Fat Boy, where can you get the removable, don't weld/chop up your car, rear only type that just bolt in to oe positions???
Have had a look around and haven't found one yet. Do they have to be custom made??
Dxx

 

im also looking for a roll cage to go into a classic 4 door
dont mind if it is welded or bolt in as long as a person is able to sit in the back.
which one would be best and where can i get it from?

mikee

 

Here you go, lucky

This is my mate Hervé's classic, welded over this week-end
He's just telling this is his way to fit it, as Sparco is not providing any instruction neither drawing. Some plates and fitting are custom made, the whole body is welded.

STi M8 - Those pictures are the doggsss Just what i was looking for and now i can hopefully complete the install this weekend.

Thanks again !!!

A Very Happy Minty.

 

cswminty,

You've been lucky on this one !

First cause I saw your thread,
second cause I saw it right after my friend sent me the pics

Anyway, don't thank me... just thank him.
I asked him before I posted the pics, because I know what a pain in the a** it has been for him to get it sorted out.

I expect you will heard about this daily driver before 03' summer... no doubt it's gonna be a pretty fast impreza

 

STi M'8 - Do you have any idea of where and how much it cost him to have it fitted.

I'm getting a little scared now ive seen it go through the bulk head - may need a pro to install it.

 

To clear up some confusion, I think there are two types of roll cage being talked about here, although both made by Safety Devices.

The removable one, which requires no drilling or welding, fits as Fat Boy has explained very clearly. It's £4-500 from www.performancedrivers.co.uk for classics only.

I have one and it's a very clever (patented) design. My son and I can fit it in under ten minutes and remove it again in well under five. Easy peezy.

You cannot carry rear passengers but there's plenty of room for a spare set of track day wheels on the back seat, it doesn't obscure your view, provides perfect attachment points for a harness (and/or video camera) and acts as a very strong rear strut brace

Guys check out the following thread!!!!!

www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?ThreadID=202020

 

I fitted the 6 point weld/bolt/drill cage for competition use (hill climbs). It is independant of the bodyshell, belt mounts etc, so in a Big Off the cage is there independant of the shell. In the MSA Blue book, section L I think, the 'abreviated'hoop/cage is not homologated at all, thus cannot be used for racing. I should think for trackdays the bolt-in hoop is a realy good option, but not for racing?
