Protection lol!?? Where they bolt into the floor is where the harnesses fit.

No its not , its where people bolt harnesses , its not safe and would be dangerous in an accident especially with the non fixed back seats .

Ill try and find a thread that should explain it . . . .

Thats got nothing to do with a roll cage not being safe.

I never said they would not be safe . . . mounting harnesses to the floor is not ideal .

Handbags at dawn! I think they look pretty cool. Obviously there not as rigid and structurally beneficial as a full weld in cage. But they must benefits??? Guys? Lol

Hmmm I'm getting the picture, think I'll be binning that idea off then

 

[Luke_197]

Tbh I'm considering selling mine anyway, I don't like the fact that I've added a good 100kg of pointless weight to my car, at least with back seats they are useful.

 

[crossy]

Yeah I'm thinking along the same lines

Personally I don't like the oulton cages due to the mounting points, however it would effectively act as a roll bar and as others have said for the money it's good. I'd go for a cup racer cage if you can, the last one went on eBay for £155 but with a bit of fabrication can be converted to a half cage and mounts to the rear suspension so should hopefully stiffen the chassis a little. A much better option IMO.
