Hmm... to be honest... i wont get it... yes they are nice ones, and nite job... but why bolted not welded, and why the original seatbelts.
In all FIA amateur cups, if u chose to use a rollcage, u have to use it with proper racing seats, and at least 4 point seatbelts.
If u crash it u ll smash jour head like a watermelon... and the non welded rollcage ll not protect tha car, so it ll be crashed to scrap...

Again, sorry, and not for fackin about... but i think it is not healthy...

If its only for looks, bolt it in and use light guage tubing.

If its for protection and stiffening of the chassis, weld it in and make sure you use seamless tubing, or the chances are it will cause more damage to you in an accident than not having one.

Also the cages above dont conform to the MSA regs 09, due to the fact that there is more than one bend in the lower section below the window fram - ie: dog leg or escape dash cages.

Just for your info more than anything.

tbh mine was already fitted when it was imported from japan otherwise i probably wouldn't have had one fitted myself. mine did have sponge tubing wrapped around it but it looked tatty and was coming off in places so i took it all off (except top front piece) but i do have plans to have it re-wrapped and also to have proper seat belt/harness fitted.
