Can you still use the stock window winders with an Autopower roll cage with the doors closed?
What about stock under dash AC?? I noticed some people going to electric windows when using a roll cage. Is it a problem?? |

The bolt in.
I already have the roll bar and I was thinking about adding the front cage. |

I've got the U-Weld, but my windows are gone, too.

Thanks Sean!
Can you tell if it would hit the window winders if they were there? |

Thanks Howard!!
I just thought of something else. I wonder if it would clear the under dash AC?? I'm also planning on adding the AC some day. I just thought the car would be a little safer on the street with a full cage. |

IMHO, cages in street 914s are a bad idea.
get Engman's stiffening kit for added strength without a head basher. |

I agree. If I can't put padding around area's where my head would hit I won't install it. My car is stiff enough. I'm just looking for more crash protection. |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) That's why I removed mine. If you do it, at least get 5 point belts. |
