I guess I'm biased towards Safety Devices for several reasons. The firm used to be owned by that very famous 'works' Mini driver and great personal friend of mine, the late Tony Fall. All his stuff was designed using a proper CAD/CAM system and jig-built for accuracy, and despite the horror stories I've heard about other manufacturer's cages, the SD ones have always fitted easily and first time. That's not to say that other cages don't fit, just that the SD ones are very accurate and easy to install.
If that's rubbish, then I apologise.

I've had Safety Devices and Rollcentre and consider the SD to fit better. the main area is the upper side bars on the SD are fitted further up into the roof making them less visually intrusive

Both these cars have padding on the side bar but with the second you have to 'duck' to see below it.
SD (excuse the mess at the front - the reason the car made way for the blue one below)

I also fitted Rollcentre doorbars to the SD because they're doglegged rather than straight

Cooperman actually what you said was "None fit as well as the Safety Devices ones" and though personal experiance i would say thats rubbish i feel the roll centre as just as good

Not a personal attack just a discussion where i dont share that view, nothing to apologise for!
