Got enough tube left over from last weeks rollcage install to do a rear half cage sometime in the next two weeks.
It would be a weld in, includes fitting as part of the price, as well as welding to the roof and bodyshell to stiffen the chassis, would take approximately 1-2 days to do depending on how well stripped the car arrives.
That would give you the main hoop just behind the B-pillars, two rear stays mounting to the rear beam points, and a diagonal between the two. All in certified CDS tube that exceeds MSA specs ( ROPTS620, you can have a copy of the mill certificate if you wish).
I can do pickup/delivery for local area at £1 per mile if car needs to be trailered.
£375 fitted.
Number of tubes/location, etc, are negotiable if you're not too fussed about it being to MSA specs or want to save a few quid/spend a bit more for extra tubes.
Pic of the last cage so you can see how tight the hoop fits to stiffen chassis up, etc:

You could probably sell it to a saxo owner, probably would still stiffen the chassis

But you still have to weld mounting points into the chassis? I'm sure Phil could knock something up fairly easily for that purpose, mind.

Why would you want to bolt it in tho? just do it proper first as last....grinding it out takes just the same time as unbolting it anyway...

Making the bolted joints is more hassle than just welding the fecker in, especially as it still needs the mountings welding in anyway.
Can always cut it out with a slitting disc if you sell it on

I'm sure we could get it close to that if we weld enough extra bars and gussets in

Absolute bargain.
If I had the money I'd be properly tempted...
Surely that barely covers the materials!?!?!?!

Well, I bought enough tube to do 2 basic cages and have a bit spare in case of fook ups.
But the last car ended up with rather more tubes than originally planned, so may as well do a bit of discount and get the offcuts/rest out of the way on a rear half cage
