Perhaps I'm confused but if you have a cage that needs feet and box sections welded in to fit, it's not exactly bolt in! ________________________________________ '96 GTI-6 daily'93 180SX drifter 20 Febuary 1997 - Thursday's car..has far to go?  |

I brought a brand new Cusco bolt in for my Nissan btw. depends on the cage, but any that want to have an MSA logbook will have welded in plates. still bolt in as you can un-bolt the cage ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I get you Welshpug, but I've never seen the point. I only got mine cos a mate did a deal after his cro mo cage saved his life when he rolled his car. If I ever decided to get a cage again, it would be proper. Turret to turret etc. Not half welded/half bolted. If only though :/ ________________________________________ '96 GTI-6 daily'93 180SX drifter 20 Febuary 1997 - Thursday's car..has far to go? |

Hadn't noticed this thread yet Chris, wanted to congratulate you on the furthest you've ever got on a job without giving up and just selling me the parts. Good show. Cheeky bas**rd  I only did that with those top mounts as would of been a while before I could get them fitted, and I was skint  Back on topic. My cage still isnt fitted, still with a mate while I wait for it to be painted. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |

I had a 2inch thick plate on the outside in either wheel arch so if it was goint to rip out it would have to rip a good hole. ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |

Fair enough, it's your face going into the windscreen. Just make sure you use decent bolts eh? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
