Hi

auction has finished now...but heard they are now selling OMP cages

The SD cages are better quality but OMP are cheaper and still do a job

If you want details can get some for you

I bought an 6 point bolt in OMP from Deamon Twonks but it's still got to go in. I have the sunroof mechanism to remove yet but not enough time/ skill or ability to actually get things moving :roll: :cry:

If you have limited time and cant fit the cage yourself..the SD cage works out better long term as can get the sunroof model cage...ideal for a track day car...if you have not done it before it could take you a day to remove the sunroof and ancilleries.

The OMP cage is cheaper but you will need to paint it or have it painted to match your car...also door bars will need welding in position

They may do you a part ex on your cage as know they have bought cages when people have found it too hard to fit if supplied by another party like Tweeks

Good luck...depends where you are in the country as could reccommend a fitting agent for you

Cheers

Yep - on the rock in the middle of the Irish sea with a population of 73,000, one of which is called Jeremy Clarkson - I think he's something to do with cars :D :mad:

I've got a pal 'Dave' who's built several rally cars so I need to buy him lots of beers so he can show me how to fit the cage (after I've removed the many KG's of sunroof tracking first), I think I'll crack on with this but thanks for the options.

Cheers

Hi

Know AutomacGB will be promoting the SafetyDevices and OMP cages to the car club soon...15% discount to certain competitions, as cant run OMP for RWD challenge etc

Also they are doing Bilstein promo for E30...may be worth a deal with the Zone if enough people interested or sell in the shop
