Just had an email from Akeemking as I asked him about the safety devices roll cage, and he sent me a scan of the price list for the cage. Basic weld-in cage is £245, but with all the extra gibbins, comes to £549.83 (includes more support, door rails, tunnel brace plate, dash bar, etc...)
Reckon its worth splashing out that little bit extra & get the complete kit?

i'll up a copy of the price list later if anyones interested when I get home, as the garage will more than likely resize the image so it can't be read!

Personally for a track / strip car Id go for a bolt in cage. A full weld in cage is a bit OTT for what your doing. Plus it'll weigh you down a fair bit compaired to a bolt in.
It does look good and all, but for a light weight weekend toy I would go for the cheaper option and then buy door bars etc if you really really want them.

That's mine - Custom Cages fully welded in 16-point jobbie in lightweight T45 steel. Set you back the best part of £700 though
Andy - you heading up to Newcastle too, or is it just Kindness and his gang? Only I'm not far, so thought I might wander across for a few bevvies...

Yeah, but 26kgs is a lot if your trying to make the car as light as possible.
You dont need such a complicated cage for track days / strips.
