Have you died? or is it a brilliant drive?

Yep, and replaced with a motorsport certifiable cage. Only things to watch for:

- the door hinges mount on the front legs, so will need to leave them in place or remake the hinge mounts on the new tube (which is what we did)
- the body goes a bit floppy and you'll presumably have the windscreen out at the same time - the amount of movement probably varies from car to car depending on how much preloaded stress there is between the shell and the cage.

Happy to share pics of cage design and where the cage mounts to the chassis if that's of interest.

Took the back one off - sprinted a couple of times - loads of understeer - didn't die - didn't like it - put it back on.

My rear anti roll bar has been removed but plasticman is making some different damper mounts so they sit more upright to allow them to work in a more linear fashion. I won't really know what it drives like until I take it to millbrook for the day later in September.

You talking about roll cage roll bars or anti-roll bars?

Don't forget the bars for putting your rolls on.
