Nice one mate!!
I was looking in machine mart etc this week for one of these as i need to do a roll cage for the Silvia and a bloke at work wanted one as well so we was going to go halves.
Would you be interested in hireing it out for a weekend or something or it may be easier to let you do a cheap arse cage for my car? Possibly just bend them to shape and i can do the welding or something?
Let me know mate.

I got the side exit exhaust done last weekend by the way mate. :-D

Yes Ian,
We can sort something. Give me a ring or we can discuss at the next meet. The proper cage material is not that cheap though mate.

I can supply the tube from a trade account where i work, i wont be using proper cage stuff just cheap tube so it has some sort of crash protechtion and it can brace the car up a bit.

Do you fancy making some door bars for me? :-D :P

Ian the tubing that you're planning to use for your cage should be CDS (cold drawn steel) and not the cheaper ERW (Tube with a weld seam) In the event of an impact the weld seam can split. The weld seam can sometimes split when bending.

No problem Daniel. Get in touch

Ian,
Pablo is right. Do you want a cosmetic cage or a proper one?

[323ian]

I want a cage that will brace the car up a bit and save my arse in the event of a crash!!?
Is there a lot of difference in price.
Thanks for the advice it is much appreciated.

Thanks Stu.
If seamed tube is no good then it will have to be seamless as there is no point scrimping on safety i suppose.
