Bolt on full cage
I have a stalker with just the roll hoop in back. What does it take to bolt on the additional parts (front roll hoop) to make a full cage. Just the roll hoop, not the additional side surround bars. Anyone have some pics and recommendations/cautions/suggestions?
To add to this wish, I like the functionality/safety of a cage on track but don't like the look and would like to take it off cruising around town or going to a weekend car show. Can that be done easily?

Re: Bolt on full cage
I'm talking to a race car cage fab shop and he's estimating about $1200- 1500 for a nice tidy bolt on removable job that should be structurally more sound than what I am seeing in most pictures. (Looks to me like the front hoop misses the ideal support by 4 inches.)
He asked if the square stock in the lower and upper rails of the frame was .095 thick. anyone know or should I just EM Scott?

Re: Bolt on full cage
Ted, did you ever figure this out? I'm curious about the thickness of the stock used on the frame.

Dave, Scott told me "The upper and lower 1 1/4" tubes should are 14g, and the roll bars are .120." I don't know what the thickness is for the round stock in the frame. Scott was quick to respond so give him a shout if you need that dimension.
Re: Bolt on full cage
Got my bolt on front hoop/full cage done by a 30 year experienced race car fabricator with the SCCA regs manual sitting on his work bench. $1400. Not the full meal deal of a Caterham race cage with side bars, but adequate for me if I want to do some low key SCCA racing.
