ie these people.........
http://www.customcages.co.uk/homepage
im interested in buying a cage from them, but i was just wondering if anyone has used them before and roughly how long it takes them to get a kit sent out? if it takes a while i may leave ordering one till after new year you see. but if its sharpish, i suppose i can get cracking before that.
thanks in advance.

i believe so, but i think he got his from harry hockely which appears to be almost the same thing just about 30 pounds cheaper.

To be honest i only have the rear half at the moment this came with foot plates but they can supply the a and b pillar plates to go with the kit
I plan to buy and fit the front half of the cage early next year but for the money i think it is good value.

gussets.... I doubt it would come with them unless you ask for them. You get get them from Demon Tweeks.

wont be as strong. The holes are punched. You see the curved edges on the holes. This adds a great deal of strength

we have used a few of them, 10days from order to dispatch usually. dont expect it to just all slot into place tho, will need some poking about to get it right.

the same can be said for any cage though...... they are never straight forward
