Rob_Mitchell Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 hey guys i am in the proceeds of buying this do-luck rear cage but i have a few questions if anyone can help. 1) i think the rear seats can still be used but can someone confirm they can? 2) where does the cage bolt too? obviously the floor pan in the boot but where does the sides bolt? many thanks and i dont suppose someone has any better pics of one fitted.

j80leo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I think mine is the same and the rear seats can still be use you just have to watch your head if in the back. The other bits bolt into the exsisting bolt holes for the front seat belts;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 yeah mate but what about the side bits? can the seat belts still all be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 where does the block of cheese thing bolt too? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chingy Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 They bolt to where the rear seat belt goes so you would have to lose these, you should be able to keep the rear seats though but without belts. This is a tension set though mate so shouldn't be used as a cage. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Tension set being sold as a cage, thats a bit naughty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 nar it is a tension set its my mistake, can i not just remove that bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 how much do these cost? and i imagen they would provide a small degree of rollover protection in the event of a roll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j80leo Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 On mine i changed the 2 bars around on the rear, so the 2 sections where they bolt on to the rear seats face into the middle of the car and had a cross member made up whick goes across the car. I will get some pictures for you later ok;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
