I'll definatly be going down the full cage route and I was planning on designing it myself using finite element anaylsis.

Welderman on locostbuilders gave me a quote of £400 for a fully welded in cage including side impact protecting using 48x2.5 CDS.

My plan was also to have a MSA compliant cage, as it doesn't look too difficult to design a cage for this purpose.

Finally I also decided that the cage was going to be mounted to the front with a horizontal cross member, meaning that there wouldnt be a 50mm diameter tube taking up valuable leg room.

Would you be able to watch weldermans quote for your cages?
