You won't have plates, you'll have boxes, at least you will on the sills, maybe not on the rear arches. | |

Mate, speak to Kenich. You never would have known his rallye was the stripped out slag it once was. Il get pics of the mounting points in mine when I can be bothered. | |

Just remove the 'feet', they'd just be bits of box section, cut them out and paint over the evidence. | |

My 6 point cage has mounting plates welded into the car and the cage bolts onto that. | |

quote:But then if you want to remove the cage, it'll be to put it in another car because you've bent yours. Therefore the old shell with the plates on the floor is getting scrapped anyway. Means you've less work to recover parts for your next car. Which if you look at it that way means you should probably weld it in and be done with it, yes. | |

yes you are left with welded plates everywhere but this needs to be done to make it safe otherswise the bolts would just pull through the floor when you crashed and the cage would end up being useless and more likely to kill you than save your life. | |

so if you are welding in plates or feet to bolt the cage to, why don't you just weld the cage in - in the first place? :boggle: | |

never seen a bolt in cage bolt to anything else but the mounting points on the floor, which is done how ian has said | |

If it's MSA spec then it needs to bolt to mounting feet which are welded to the shell. | |

I think most of that's spot on about bolting to the floor/chassis. On the pillars it's generally bolted to the top seatbelt mount and roof wise I couldn't tell you. | |
