My brother wants to add a half cage to his 914. Any info from anyone running one would be greatly appreciated. Pro's and con's that you may have experienced?
Weld in or bolt in.. Either way works for us but leaning towards welding it in. TIA.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I have a safety devices bolt in cage that was welded in by PO. The supports that go diagonal to the center hump (like the gt) limit race seat travel. Ok for me, but I’m short at 5’8”. I’d be concerned about leg room at 6’0”. I’ve seen versions that don’t have the center diagonal.
Also, the bar in front horizontal is set rearward from the top of windshield (assuming they did it so it wouldn’t interfere with lid latches). Being short, my seat is moved forward, which puts that horizontal bar near my head, my helmet grazes the pad. I lowered my seat by cutting out the floor cross support and it’s fine now, but not a mod I would want to make on a nice car... |
