Hi,

I'm thinking of fitting a full cage to my car as a safety thing, even though the events I do doesn't require it. It would need to be a fully certified one, with proper installation.

However, the car will have few, if any, other mods and I'll want to sell the car as standard in the future. Obviously with the cage removed. Is this doable?

Thanks

resurecting older thread -but I am the OP!

Still not made a decision but I thought the cages would join at the sill, cos they did on my old car, but have found one for my currect car that goes to the floor.

So, as discussed above, the installer would need to weld the plates to the floor (120cm2 rings a bell) and then bolt (weld?) the cage to them.

So, I guess I'd need to grind off the weld to remove the plate and then fill any holes. It wouldn't have to be absolutely perfect as it would go under the carpet from above and underseal / dirt from below...

I'd pay someone else to do it but could it be done? I guess the plate would be very close to the sill on one edge.
