Anyone ever fitted a Wiechers roll cage to an E36?

Hi,

Just ordered a Wiechers half cage for my E36 saloon, has anyone got any pointers for fitting? Bolt in or weld? How long did it take?

Cheers

No I havent, but I need one.

Any links to a site? Also, how much cash are they?

Thanks

I bought mine from a shop in Paderborn, Germany for 300 euros. You can order them online at -

Not sure on prices.

Might be worth trying to order from Germany through D&W (equivalent to Demon tweeks) that shop linked above want 430 quid!

I have the same dilemma just now.

For track use a full cage is best of course. However I still use the car on the road and it's not recommended to have a full cage as you could knock your head on the top bar if involved in an accident, which wouldn't be a good idea withouth a helmet on.

Anyone know if the cages (E&F) linked above require the dash to be removed or not.. don't fancy that much either.

Think I am going to go down the route of a half cage with a harness bar. Just need to decide on a custom job or a bolt-in.

When i spoke to a german dudey yesterday at HG Motorsports, Paderborn he was sure that the full cage would have to go through the dash. Think this is why he quoted me 16 hours labour to fit a full one.

Im going for the half cage as my E36 will still be a road use car. And the harness strut is a must. Also handy for camera mount.

An interesting discussion on here about the cons of half cages:

Thanks for the info guys.

If I was to get one, any ideas where would fit one in the North West?
