your floors are going to look like swiss cheese if you have to drill all new holes for the feet of the cage. my cage was close to the reels but i fitted them first then the cage to make sure ... now lost the back seats and gone the way of harnesses

Tell me about it,I pretty sure I have fitted it wrong but I'm not changing it now,as you say my floors and arches will look terrible.I'm going to find a way to mount my reels in a different place.I've got a few ideas,I'll no at the weekend.

if it is fitted incorrectly then it will not function as it should in an accident and is more likely to cause damage to you and your passengers! If I were you I'd remove it and fit it properly! you can always weld the old holes up!

Could you get pics of where each leg is mounted?

Yeah I'll get some pictures on saturday.I'll show you whats going on.

As for the function side of things I'm not 100% sure wheather it would make any difference.The legs are all fixed very well and the cage looks as vertical as it should be,I may be totally wrong.I'll get some pictures and see what you think.

Cheers for all the help guys.

i've got a SD cage in mine, when first fitted i still had the bins in place, and could only fit the reels if the black plastic cover was removed, and then it was still tight. I have since removed bins as i've fitted harnesses and door bars
