Would fitting a rear roll cage be a worthwhile safety improvement or would it be OTT for road use?

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

Recently spoke to Caged who are near to me in Frome and will probably get them to fit a custom rear cage. Have recently fitted seats from an MX5 and being a bit long in the leg these are right back. Hopefully the cage won't intrude too much? How much room do the uprights take up?

Booked in with Caged to have a custom rear cage fitted in a few weeks time. It will have a removable diagonal, integral harness bar and be built to MSA blue book standards - well you never know!!! biggrin I have recently fitted some Mk1 MX5 seats and have requested that they fabricate a support bar for the rear seat mounts between the inner and outer chassis tubes just to beef it all up a bit.

Thanks for all the advice chaps, will post pics once done.

Vixen going into Caged next week.

Just wondering whether its worth going for a full cage rather than just the rear?

Car at present is only going to be used on the road.

Any views gratefully received
