id get a full cage if your getting one at all johno, if you roll it with a half cage the windscreen and A pillars will still cave in. Its better than nothing, but a full cage is the only thing if you doing a good bit of track work

well cash problem at the mine, but iam getn a cage do, soo go full cage or half cage i havent decided yet, getn the turbo first,
but rite if i did go full cage then no need for the rear bride seat :o:o
what i want be bold in,:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
but for the moment the cage is a month or 2 away in my winter project
but ok the A piller can fold but surely with the bar going over the roof
it would give some support,
but ill have a thread up soon enough :):)

Half cage only protects the back of the car johno, the bar across the roof should be behind your head so useless to your noggin!!!

youll still be able to use the backseats with a cage dude. Ive got a full one in mine and just pull the diagonal bar out when i need to use the rear seats.
Or usually use the fact theres a big fuck off bar back there to keep people out of the back of the car ;)
