The Safety Design bolt-on cage seem to be more friendly user with the plate bolted to the firewall. I heard of Kirk Racing that manufacture 914 cages also. Any comment on them ? Are they easy to install ? I will only do driving events for the next fews years, is it overkill? Thanks

I seem to remember that the Safety Devices cage had smaller tubing and would not work for my needs. Be sure to check the safety and tech rules from the groups you plan to run with.

I have an Autopower cage in my car. It was a bit of a PITA to put in, but it fits great. There seem to be a lot of them at the track.

If I had to do it over again, I would have one custom built.

I sincerely hope that the roll cage, fuel cell, fire system, helmet, nomex and other safety items are never put to the test by me or any other drivers. We all know that is not the case. Most drivers will never find out first hand how well they work. Those that do will tell you it was the best investment they ever made. There is no such thing as being to safe in a race car.
