Default Ba/bf Roll Cages

Anyone got pictures of their roll cage be it sedan or ute ?
Can you buy pre fabricated bolt in ones that are ANDRA spec.
There is a lot of cars running tens so i would have thought some would have cages.

Brown Davis in victoria did mine in the ute, bolts inn with taxi bar and cross brace in main hoop and brace accross the top of windscreen on front section. Tried to get Bond roll bars in Sydney to build one but when I told them the car was registered they wouldn't do it. Have few hassles getting it engineered with air bags and clearances.

Check with an engineer what you need to do before getting anything done if you want to keep it street legal. Harnesses are also engineered on mine in NSW the harness must need a tool to be removed so you can't use the clip on type must be a bolt inn setup.

Easier to put a cage in a car without air bags, the RTA says you can have nothing foreward that could prevent the air bag deploying so your cage has to come down behind the steering wheel and very much left on pass. side. Note this is a grey area some engineers just say no. Then there is clearances to your skull to contend with.

This has to be the best cage installation I have ever seen.
From 2005, more pics on XRTurbo forums. You have to reg to search though.
