So... i've just paid my hard earned savings on keeping myself safe on track... and i'm quite pleased really! Photos are below. Peter at Fabricagee has done the hard work and thanks to Brunswick for arranging it.

i'm having real trouble trying to post pics... when i do the forum says 'error' to some degree or another. To answer your question if you look at the photo above, you'll see a little short section at the bottom of the cage. This mounts onto the top of the suspension pick up points at the rear apparently. It is also welded to the front of the bulkhead but doesn't go through it. There's also a front bar that's meant to be attached as well but is yet to be welded on. This apparently will sit behind to dash thought the benefit of this beam is currently unknown to me. If I can post more pics I will.

There are some problems with the forum at the moment unfortunately.

 

The triangulation by the door is interesting.

Are you going to have harness bars fitted ?

 

Looks a nice meaty cage. Are you going to have all the interior and cage panited the same colour or the cage a different colour ?

The harness screws into the floor pan rather than around any harness bars. I was told this was a better option than the harness bars as the bars themselves would pull them to one side... I'm having the inside and cage painted white so it'll show off the carbon door cards. I think i'll also go well given the outside colour which is porsche riviera blue.

 

Jackherer.. I agree with the triangulation by the door. Aparently it's a new FIA requirement. Quite why I don't know...

Looks like a pretty comprehensive cage, and neat install. :rolleyes: May i ask what sort of price it is, just for an idea in relation to others as they're not too far from me either.

 

Cheers.
