I have been thinking of making a 6 point internal cage but not sure on how to go about the front section
so post some pics of how you went about it where it runs and mounts etc
I already have the rear hoop just unsure how to do tha "A" pillar section

Bent up 2 pieces that run foward to the corner of the windscreen, turn down at an angle to follow windscreen frame, and then bend again between the dash and door to go down to a mounting plate on te floor.
I then bent & notched two spreader pieces, one at the top of the windscreen, one at the base above the dash.
Dunno if you can see but u I also have door bars/braces going from the b pillar (at seat height) down to the base of the 'a pillar' bars.

I always wondered what you did with your seatbelts, thought you went to a 4pt harness or something.
Looks awesome without the B pillar.

You might need to dent your doors in a little bit to get the tube through.
Mine is similar to dee's without the cross brace in the roof.

Mine needed a bit of encouragement to close.
There was a thread on OL a while ago on cages wasn't there? Does anyone remember it?

I finished my cage today and fitted it I'm really happy with it besides the doors being a little
stubborn to shut. And it's not as braced as yours Dee hope I never need it though lol.

There are mobile engineer's that have a Qld trans ticket that can plate it for you.
