Gents,

Got a SD 6 Point bolt in cage for my 4 door with sunroof E30.

Apparently I need to purchase a fitting kit, which can be got for about £75 which includes bolts and box sections/plates to be welded in. Is there anyone in the midlands area who could do this (for a fee) as I cant weld!

Cheers

Luke
These so-called speed bumps are a joke. If anything, they slow you down! :-x

Ok, wasnt sure if footplates are needed on the front two feet as they are stepped on the cage.

I just got my 6 point SD cage and the front legs DO come with reinforcing plates for underneath them as do the rear arch points and B pillar 'feet'. Might be worth getting them to be sure.... 8)

Try Phil at power developments in Chesterfield (01246240632 might be a bit north for you) he's the SD E30 Dealer and a good bloke.

They prep E30s for the RWD rally challenge so they are good for any other prep bits as well. :cool:
