Roll cage for the van

[Slik 50]

Just a quicky,

Im looking for a roll cage for the Mk2 van. This may sound daft but will the cages from a car fit a van and from what I understand the mk1 and 2 vans are the same from the A piller back so will I be looking for a Mk1 cage. Im looking for a pretty comprehensive cage as the van is not the most structurally sound and I intend to pick up off the cage and build some sort of space frame. Any advice on to where to start looking for said cage would be appriciated. I have seen some on Ebay which dont look to bad but just wanted to explore other options.

I have a weld in cage in my mk2 van. It was a standard escort cage but we asked for certain bars to be cut overlength so that we could size them to suit when we got to that stage of the build. Take a look at the link under my sig for details (sorry I don't remember what page it's on) and I'll dig out the invoice for details of who supplied it when I get home.

Thanks Scott,

I have just been looking at the custom cages site and looking at the ones on ebay. I just dont know wether to buy an all out multi point cage and built of it or just buy a basic cage and make the rest to suit what ever I need later on.

I am in the process of building a space framed Mk1 fiesta and i had a chat with custom cages.

 

I am going to buy the main loop and front sections down the a-pillars and them make the rest to suit as everything else is just straight lengths!!!

After having a look around I think that's the route I'm going to take. I will see if they can make one with a little extra length to fill the extra roof space in the van an build the rest.

I'm pretty sure they will do whatever you want!
