Half cage and cargo space question

[bigsid]

Hi, just wondering if anyone has a rear half cage in their 197 and how they find getting a spare set of wheels into the car. Is it possible at all? Does it depend on the design of the cage. What other alternatives are there for getting a caged car + spare rims to the track if you don't have a trailer/transporter etc?

Thanks - Sid

Plenty of room in the back with a half cage. Most of them don’t have a horizontal cross bar across the back which means it’s like the back of a van

I should have mentioned actually, it would need to be one with a horizontal bar as the main point of it is as something to fit harnesses to.

There’s definitely room. When I say horizontal I mean across the top of the shock mounts.
Most the bolt in half cages have the harness bars incorporated higher up in the rear loop, or even in the centre loop
