what sort of price should i pay to get my cage fitted with a few extra bars fitted and having the cage painted the guy is ment to be relly good and mentioned a few scoobys hes done but i still wana see his work
How much does he want ? , get a quote from HIM!! I was just looking at "prepfabs" site they build Escort rally cars etc, they charge 300 to fit a 6 point cage including the foot plate welding (stripped car) http://www.prepfab.co.uk/newrollcages.htm Hope that page hasn't been updated for a while... Edited by: GVK
sorry i forgot to say he said 200 hes been recomended by peter lloyd too i think that inclds striping the bits out but i can do that i called roelands who do the scoobys and they wanted a gob smacking 500 [:^(]
Yeh I got a 'rough' ballpark estimate from caged of 300 area (think +vat) for install of 6 point bolt in to MSA regs- assuming it was fairly straight forward. Extra bars seem to be in the 100-150 a bar area (mostly +vat) for most professional outfits- thats the sort of figure ive been told by a few few co's for harness bar anyway.
Most people say that a bolt in cage can be fitted in a working day, so even if they charge 30 an hour that's at least 240 + vat . Add money for your add on bits and there you go.
grest stuff thanks guys he lives about 40 miles away so its not that far away what sort of extra bars do people go for im thinking of some harness bars heres a bad pic of mine
Whoa !?!?!?!?! Hold on !!! Scruge McLizard has dusted out the moths and actually opened his wallet ..... AND then taken it to one of THE most expensive places hed could to get a harness bar put in ??????? [Faints]
Oh did anyone notice the xjr-15 on ARRC's Site ? I was licking the carbon fibre of that last weekend ! Then scurrying around the floor picking up all the scrap carbon pieces ! Secret Squirrel styli !
Gary, YOu coming down to Balance to get your cage or are you having it delivered? Julian is only 10 mins from me, so if you do let me know and we can have nice cuppa (know you northern types like a brew) Nick
Nick, Julian has recommended me to collect the cage from SD in Newmarket (not far) in person as the last cage he had from them was damaged by Nightfreight. In my case a damaged cage will be a slight nuisance as it's the only cage for a mk2 Safety Devices have to sell at the mo apparently. Thanks for the offer tho Edited by: GVK
Update, got a call from Balance... My cage was not in Belgium last week as SD instructed Balance.., it was still in Poland... It's now in Belgium so will be a 'few more days' Edited by: GVK
Julian from balance is top banana, really helpful and knowledgable, sadly lacking in most establishments these days! Good luck with fitting cage, looking to get my mk2 sorted with a cage before the ring this year, this post will be useful,cage a must when you see some of the smashes there.
Glad to hear you got the cage from Ju Gary. If you need advice fitting it, remember he fitted my identical cage to my identical golf with identical sunroof!
Thanks James, been very impressed with Julian's service so far, might hear something about collecting the cage later this week hopefully. edit - just read a mail from Ju, cage should be at SD on Weds,will have to scrounge a couple of hours off work later this week to go and collect it.. Edited by: GVK
Spoke to "Joost" (ryhmes with toast) at Safety Devices earlier, all being well cage will be with them Weds and I can collect Thursday. Won't be fitting it this weekend as we're (lizard,IV mk1 16v and myself) going to Oulton on Saturday.
Ju is away for a couple of weeks as of Wednesday. Good luck at Oulton on Saturday. Last time I was there it was a wash out. Fingers crossed it stays dry for ya.
