4.14.4 Single Rolover Hoop with removable support members
The following vehicles require a single rollover hoop covering the full width of the driver's compartment with two back stays , a side intrusion bar and taxi bar of bolted construction using Grade 8 or equivalent fasteners constructed to ANDRA requirements as a MINIMUM ! ( Utilities may use a FOUR point rol cage with intrusion bars / diagonals on both sides ) . Unmodified cars ( ET 10.00 - 10.99 ) : with nmodified monocoque construction with fixed steel roof , slower than 10.00 ( 1/4 ) / 6.50 ( 1/8 ) but faster than 10.99 ( 1/4 ) / 7.00 ( 1/8 ) . My understanding of that is , UNtubbed = unmodified , therefore a Bolt in 4 point cage with Bolt in Side instrusion bar which is always on drivers side ? So a back half cage with bolt in drivers side intrusion bar is required for Unmodified chassis/tubs ..... Hope that helps , but if in doubt , contact your local Andra Tech inspector for more info . This is from the 2013 Andra rule book . 4.14. Full 6 Point Roll Cage with Removable Support Members . The Following vehicles require a full roll cage mounted at a minimum of 6 points with removable side intrusion bars . The intrusion bars must be the same diameter and thickness as specified in the material selection chart and must be attached using 3/8 inch ( 10mm ) Grade 8 bolts as a minimum . UNMODIFIED CARS ( et 8.00 - 9.99 ) . Street registered cars with a fixed steel roof and Unmodified monocoque construction running between 8.00 and 9.99 ( 1/4 ) / 5.00 and 6.25 ( 1/8 ) or slower . So STREET Registered cars with FIxed Steel roof and UNMODIFIED chassis or tubs , ONLY needs BOLT in 6 point CAGE with BOLT in removable side intrusion bars . WOW SO basially you can keep your registered car with unmodified chassis / tubs , streetable with all seats available with some Hard Work of making a Bolt In 6 point cage ! Thats got to be appealling to alot of people ... Thats cool .... DAMN cool

So it can be bolt together ? I though it would have to be one piece ? Would be good if you could do 2 piece and bolt the 2 together then wouldnt be as hard to fit |

He welds in plates with nuts on them on the floor/sill at the base of the B pillar, around your feet & on the parcel shelf. The B pillar hoop bolts to this, the side instrusion bar bolts to the B pillat hoop & the floor & the rear stays bolt from the B pillar hoop to the parcel shelf. The taxi bar bolts to the centre hoop. In my XT he says he welds in a permanent bar in the boot from the parcel shelf to the chassis rail. Hope that makes sense. Its a ***** of a job to get it out but it can be done, One of the boys at work have a similar set up in a HZ

Another mate got full cage and four link in his 1965 Stang and I cannot fault the quality of workmanship. I cannot talk for if it is a good four link etc as I have no experience in that stuff. Would I get something done there myself I would, I haven't had any experience with other to compare by but came good on quoted time & $ and quality.
