Roll Cage?

I've got a Full Mk1 Gti roll cage with Doorbars...I'm gonna put it on eBay but what sort of reserve should I put on it?...

Whats the second hand value of these things?

O...its Saftey Devices(Fixed diag) if that helps?

Cheers
Phil

 

500 roughly when new?

In short supply now, so I'd say 250/300 reserve

 

no no no, sell it to me for 50 you know you want to!!

Well this isn't a for sale post.

I've just tried to put one up and it won't let me...I'm not a club GTi member anymore.

 

how many times can you cut a cage out without it becoming unstable?

 

Its a 6 point bolt in cage, no need to cut

 

How does it all join together then?


Ithough you still had to weld certain parts for strength?

 

i just paid 300 for a brand new sparco one

 

Bolts and clamps, main joins are welded, you bolt the front cage to the rear, the door bars bolt on and the front top bolts across.

You can get a full cage for about 300 so i'd say 150ish.


Dave!

 

when you say main joins what about the corners, do these come pre-bent?

 

Mike, the bolt in cage is pre formed to fit whatever car it's designed for.

When fitting a bolt in cage, usually it will require welding in some plates or brackets into the floor/structure of the shell to bolt the cage too.

 

Here's a pic - good illustrations of a bolt in cage and the plates/brackets I mentioned above.

As for price, same thing for a mk2 was advertised on here last week for 195 + delivery and sold the first or second day it was up..

missed it!!

So what's people's views regarding bolt-in & weld in cages & cost Vs strength?


Must be good bolts?

 

Saftey devices cage + 2 door bars costs 360 + Delivery. Thats the best I could find.

I think I'm gonna try for 200 and see how it goes.
