    I want one too, but my main concern is insurance, apparently NFU will insure you wiht a cage, not got a quote tho, most other companies wo't touch you with a barge pole.

    Think when i was speaking to him at FCS it was around £500 to supply and fit a 6 point cage, but honestly can't remember, could be way off....

    Contrary to popular belief a roll cage can make a car more dangerous if not fitted using the proper MSA guidelines.

    There are minimum distances that need to be maintained between the drivers head and sidebars etc. Which we follow.

    Our favourite cages are the Safety Devices ones which in general are a tad more expensive to buy, but much better quality than Sparco and OMP. They are simply made more accurately and take less fitting time in general as less spacing is needed to make the cages fit.

    For reference about the best company we have found for insuring cars with cages is Graham Sykes Insurance on 0845 1300 231.
