[antz]

did anyone every make a classic style rollcage fro the mk2 escort that was just the hoop with no rear bits or door bars?

[hotrodholty]

dont know, but if thats what your after you should be able to get just a hoop made or cut the legs off a standard cage

why not PM Parajon, see if he can give you some help?

The reason you have backstays is because the roll over hoops caused some injuries in severe crashes.. easpecially rear ones when your on your roof ..the hoop follows the roof forward and falls over your head and chest pinning you to the seat .. and making it harder to get you out.

 

personally, if someone asked me to make one i would refuse

Do you mean without the diagonal bar across the back seat?

 

If so you can get them with removable diagonals

[morcheen]

if you want just the loop, make one out of plastic pipe

but surely one hoop is better than fook all

 

 

im having just a front cage... 4 posts, one just behing the door, one infront

i meant one like retro was on about....doesnt seem safe.

 

think ill have to pass

I would imagine you could probably get someone to build you a cage that followed the line of the rear doors. In the same way that a front cage does

i just like the look of the classic hoop cages.

 

i had a vision of one in beige
