Thank you for your reply. I agree. Compared to what we usually run, the cages are fairly basic. They are of course designed to be a " roll cage " and protect in the event of an inversion. We are really looking for something to protect in the event of a big side impact as well.. like a tree !! From past experience ....... especially with the positioning of the fuel cells.

At this stage we are maybe thinking of just buying a vehicle and then looking at removing the tanks and triangulating intrusion bars into the side pods. The fuel tank ( albeit reduced capacity maybe able to be relocated into the front aka Porsche. We wouldnt be using the power booster set up or alternatively we may be ablle to use smaller side pod tanks to accomodate the bars. We can get by with a 60 litre ( 15 gallon) set up.

May have to get the car first and play around a bit.

Thanks


David
