Roll Centre website, front and rear comes to £390.10 + £20 delivery, thats only front and rear though, no harness bar.

Fabricage are mean to be good value for money too, but I'm not sure if they do FIA spec, they don't have a website either.

just seen this months mini mag and they are fitting a rollcentre cage so they have to be some good also they have the FIA approval so will wait to see what they have to say.

In the 'How to' but were they are fitting the cage they cut the rear bins out to allow access for the cage to fit but i don't want to do this, is their any way of fitting it with out cutting out the rear bins?

Yeah, get a ratchet strap, lots of tea, and be prepared to swear a lot.

You don't have to cut out the rear bins. The full SD cage I had in my old Mini was put in with the rear bins in place. However, if you have a rear diagonal then it makes it very hard to pull in the legs with ratchet straps, which in turn makes it hard to get the cage in with the rear bins in place. Unless of course the diagonal is removable.

And if you have the cross brace, then its near impossible to get it in. My mate gave in and cut the bins out lol

Ring up SD directly.

Im sure your arches are Huddersfield group 6s mate. 6s and 7s are the same but 7s have the lip for chrome trim.

I'm sure Puddings knows what he bought! :(

I'd say, unless you need the cage for a track event in the next 8 weeks then £200 buys you a new set of A032s! :lol:

just a quick question im finding it hard to get one in time rang the nice people at demon tweaks and they have a OMP cage all in for £429.71 plus painting, or should i wait for 'spares to get the SD one for £591?

Which are better OMP or Safety Devices both are FIA approved
