[tlrelli]

Hi all have been offerd a mk1 escort roll cage but have a mk 2 is there any diffrence dont mind doing a bit of work on it but dont want to rebuild it cheers all

[stevepeanut]

dont think it will fit, its a different shell, but I'm sure someone with more knowledge will know a bit more

the feet are diffrent little bit of cut and shut will work

[lee 1]

Its a bit more than the feet that are different and it will not fit without major modification,definately better off getting the right one

[5hane]

we have one that was modded for a mk1 (mk2 originally) and it fitted

 

ahh well, weve got to convert it back

if the cages were inter changable then why would they make different cages,there different for a reason.

cages are a safety idea,if it dont fix right or has been cut about when you do need it it might fail causin more harm than good.

Fair point think i will look for a mk2 cage lol

Not worth the hassle mate !!! The front down legs are stright on a mk1 and have a dog leg bend in the mk2 cage, the rear hoop isnt a snug fit ect ect. A badley fitted cage is worse than no cage mate.

 

If you hang on and bide your time one will pop up, i got my brand new 12 point 2nd hand (never fitted) safety devices cage for £350 via an ad on rally used parts . com
