Maier racing in Hayward does great work. Or you can get an auto weld roll bar and then have someone weld it in? Both are about the same price. What options are you looking for? Swing outs? Removeable rear cross bar? legal door bars? Road race cross bar-diagnonal?

I'm doing my cage and it's a GODDAMN SOB! I was going to tig weld it but said the hell with this so I'm just using a 220 amp mig welder and since this seems to want to blow holes when welding the mounting plates to the car I'm using a 120 amp mig cranked all the way up for this.
I bought an 8 point competition engineering that I picked up when I went to hot august nights at summit. Cost $140 10% discount ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)
If your willing to spend some time on it and know how to weld I would do it myself. Especially if all your doing is a 4 point. The hoop only cost $40 bucks then you pick up 2 3 foot sections of thick tubing along with 1/8" flat steel for the plates cut weld and your done.

Your lucky Joe since you bought it vehicle specific. I thought I did also but my cage will fit almost any car as long as the hoop fits inside and passes directly above the sub frames/frame.
Most of my time was spend notching and cutting the tubes to lenght.

I would suggest going to John at CMC fabrications.He can custom make your cage from mild steel,DOM seamless or chromoly to your specific application.Never will you get exactly what you want with a mass produced cage as each car and driver will have differnt needs.He does excellent work and has both mig and tig capabilities.His prices are unbeatable.He is located in Santa Clara
To contact him call 408-496-1868(shop) or 408-420-7521(cell)
Tell him Matt sent you and he will set you up
