Autopower U-weld roll cage

[Sterling Doc]

Anyone tried this? Seems like it may be a good alternative to a bolt in cage, and less money than a full custom cage.

You do understand it is only the front half of the cage, don't you?

 

It is a way to convert the Race Roll Bar into a full cage. I recommend getting the full bolt-in cage and have it welded if you feel better about the welded cages.

 

Attaching the cage to the A & B pillar is just as easy.

Sterling,

 

I have several customers who purchased this front cage kit. All have been happy with the kit. However I think it is important to note that I always explain to my customers that this kit is not as tight as a custom cage. It is a good value for those who already have a auto power roll bar. I will tell you after purchasing several bolt in style cages, I perfer the welded cages. Infact, although I sell a lot of autopower systems, I perfer (and am willing to spend considerably more) for a custom built cage. Give me a call and I can recommend a wonderful custom cage builder. If you decide you do want the autopower system, I have 3 (2 for customers and 1 for stock) currently in the build cue at autopower. Normally, autopower quotes three week delivery. These cages should ship next week. Give me a call if you want us to drop ship a unit to you. On a personal note, my wife is currently driving to Sterling to visit relatives. Will the weather cooperate for golf this weekend? Jim 800-375-3942

The biggest difference between a kit cage (bolt in, or combo bolt/weld) is that it will not be as close to the body of the car. A custom cage can be made so that all th tubes are close to the inside of the body ineffect give you more space in side the car. I have a custom cage and when ever I jump into a car with bolt in it ALWAYS feel smaller inside. All the bars seem closer to me and it feels like I have less visibility. In my custom cage the bars tend to blend in better to the existing body work and it feels more open.

After buying a car with an autopower cage, I'll never recomend them unless you are a midget. I'm 6'2" and I "fit" in the car, but if i sit up perfectly straight, my helmet is in contact with the foam padding on the top door bar and i have a recaro SPG (with no bottom cussion) thats bolted to the floor

 

Its a great cage, dont get me wrong, but the next car i buy/build will have a custom cage. I think its worth it to know you will fit.

Since I'm 6'5" I figured I would need a custom cage, thanks for verifying this. Now does anyone know of a custom cage builder in central Illinois?

yes, if you are that tall i would suggest you get a custom cage and have the seat fitted to you as well.

When you say have the seat fitted for me, what would be done and who would do that?
