Putting my cage back in properly for the first time next weekend. All the mounts are welded in. Just need to drill everything and bolt it in.

Not looking forward to it at all! So any tips on getting it in and lining up etc? It's the Safety Devices 16 point cage:

I think you meant to say 6 point :)
Just get it all in and bolted together before you drill anything

Just realised that's not the right one, mine is the front and rear triangulation jobbie.

Afraid not Andrew, cage came with the car but out the packaging. Didn't even think of it having some destructions, I'll fire them off an email

If you get stuck i can scan mines in.

Its not that difficult, they basically say to slowly work round the cage and tighten the fasteners down bit by bit. This ensures the cage is evenly loaded at every point.

Are Safety Devices Cages available at the moment, I'd heard there was some problems with supply? If so can anyone recommend a dealer, is it still Automac?

Cheers

For a good price on a Cage, contact Neil @ Automac, he has these on the shelf (well he did when i bought mines).
