has anyone got a pics of an omp bolt in multi point cage. i know im going to need to remove the glove box and relocate the ecu. but do i need to cut into the dash at all? also how much work is required in cutting through the bulk head to get through to the turrets?
cheers

I have!


Mine doesn't go through the bulkhead to the strut tops so I didn't have to move the ecu. I didn't need to cut any dashboard either, but it can't be any closer.
You do have to lose the glove box (well, you don't have to but it won't open without chopping the end off), you won't be able to use the sunvisors as normal either.
I also had to turn the headlight / fog light switch panel upside down, or I couldn't pull the headlight switch out!
And it's a pain using standard seat belts, it needs to have harnesses as well really.

Sorry, I missed that bit!mikekean wrote:has anyone got a pics of an omp bolt in multi point cage.
Mine has got a sunroof, OMP do a six-point cage for cars with sunroof, not sure about multi-point.
Even so, mine is tight to the headlining.
