gus the bus Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 folks, Considering (hopefully!!!) going back to competing (hillclimbs and sprints) with the scoob after a 10 year absense. Anyone put me in the right direction for getting a full cage that bolts or welds in and doesnt need chunks cut out of the dashboard!!!! OMP do one but just looking @ other options. Russ where did you get your one? Gus Link to comment
JohnSt Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Looking forward to the competition. [] ---john--- Link to comment
gus the bus Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Nice one John! Been away from it for 10 years[] but if I can get my act together then I'll be back to it this year. Failing that i'll be ready to roll (not over!!) for the 2008 season. do you have a full cage fitted? If so where did you get it? I know i dont need one but had one in my Mini Cooper. just makes me feel a bit safer. what class do you run in? Gus Link to comment
johnnyr6 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Gus speak to drb he's looking at one which is a good price, thinks it needs the dash modded though. Link to comment
gus the bus Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Cheers Johnny![Y] I will do. Although, I dont want to hack the dashboard to bits. I'm sure Mako (Russ's) one was a fit in the space available type one but not sure of the make. Gus Link to comment
JohnSt Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Gus, I've seen a few cages that go around the dash, all of the ones I have seen are Jap ones. I reckon that the bends in the front cage tend to point them more at the cosmetice market, as they are compromised, but everything helps. I have one in my current shell. New shell and cage are the proper items, but have not yet been introduced Car is a road car run in A3 checkout Scottish-sprinting.co.uk for Regs etc.(I'm sure you are aware of the site already) ---john--- Link to comment
