Morning, I have recently purchased a roll cage from Custom Cages. Tall story short there are no fitting instuctions supplied! Has anybody fitted one from custom cages? Has anybody got any fitting instructions Can anybody help me? Why is it that when I chew I still get a clicking sound in my jaw?

Thanks in advance,

i think there is a rough line drawing on their website, and you hand a print out of that to a welder with your collection of poles.

The most important thing apart from welding it properly, is to build it inside the car sitting on the floor, then lift up, and weld the box section bits it'll sit on.
That's how they weld over the tops of the bars. I've known people start the wrong way and wonder how the good guys manage to weld in such tight spaces under the roof

George, 'Sniff Petrol' has built an E36 track car, with a full cage.

He's a top PH'er, I'm sure he'd give you the benefit of his experience...
