i havea 6 point rollcage in my mini but im wanting to take it out, what would be the best way to do this?
i dont want to just chop it up then someone else can have it if they wanted

is it just a case of grinding off the welds? and then getting the holes in the floor welded backup?

im going to take a guess its not a weld in cage and that its bolted? then just unbolt it and fight with it to pull it out the doors

Using some ratchet straps to gently bend the legs in also helps tremendosuly. Failing that use some rope and a piece of wood to turn/twist the rope in the middle works just as well but a little more dangerous!!

hi, i had a 6point cage in my mini when i bought it a few months ago. i had a bit of a wrestle, but got it out after a few hours, took the seats and steering wheel out to make as much room as possible. i didnt ratchet strap it or anything, but i think if i had it would have saved me a lot of scratches to the interior, so thats a good idea. good luck with it.

If you were a bit more local i'd take it out for you, i'd like a cage

same as above, seats outs and steering wheel off but still had a nice rip in my new roof ling and a few scrathches on my door posts. id say one youve released the legs cover them with something padded to stop them scratching everything and get a freind to help
