Roll cage???

flamed 98 gt · February 14th, 2008, 09:15 PM

Thinking about putting in a cage. I have heard great things about Wolfe Racecraft. I am going with a 10 point. Is there anyone that would recommend someone else??

s & w makes a really good cage, the tubes come pre notched and fit together pretty well, my buddy bought a chassis engineering cage for his nova and it didn't fit together well at all

Well I was told that if I run in the 10's I would have to run a 10 point.

86_Notch · February 14th, 2008, 11:32 PM

The wolfe racecraft cage gives you the option to fit the cage yourself or have it prenotched. The rear bars are fit to the fox as well so you can retain the rear seats if you want. Also have swing out door bars as an option. and you can choose different rear bar configurations and can upgrade the cage to 25.5 later.

But they want over 700.00 for there jig notched kit.

have you ever notched a cage?

86_Notch · February 15th, 2008, 12:05 AM

i paid 200 for my S & W cage, it came pre notched , the rear bars go over the rear seat ( yes i still have a rear seat ) the only cuts we had to make were the door and trunk lengths, the bars came notched on 1 end and all we had to do was to cut them to lenght and for less then 50 bucks you can get the door swingout , i just preferr not to have it i'm not that old yet,

You have a notch, so the rear bars are different. standard bars in a GT require seat removal.

I put a comp engineering cage in my car and did all the notching and cutting myself with a handheld angle grinder. The cage only costs $100. Took me 2 weeks to cut, notch, and weld the whole cage, including interior removal, re installation.

If I had to do it over, I'd have bought the wolfe cage after seeing one in person.
