Roll cage

[h701micra]

Hi guys
Subaru micra update coming soon... But first..
Will a k11 roll cage fit in a k10?

If not i'll make my own but they must be similar
As much as I love you all please don't say I think so... Coz I already think so lol you know what I mean

I did search but it cut out the k11 and k10... Which left will a roll cage fit in a.. Soo yea

 

[Craig]

Highly unlikely without messing about with bits of it TBH

 

[Glen]

[Lord Lucan]

[Sdperkins]

Hope this is of some help. Its what I plan on using later on for my K10

[h701micra]

Its ok its got one now bought the steel and made it myself

 

[Sdperkins]

Sorry was to late only just seen this thread. From the prices on that site, would you say it cost you more or less? Only problem is I can't do it myself as I don't have the tools, thats why I was thinking of buying one made up and getting someone to weld it in place.

 

[h701micra]

Cost me £80
Keep shopping round is my only advice. You'll be looking around the £400-£500 mark

 

[Sdperkins]

For a full roll cage? Thats crazy!!!! Is it doing its job or for looks?

Its doing its job properly. I bought my steel when a place was selling it off cheap
I dont do things for show waste of money like putting a turbo badge on an n/a your just gonna look daft

 

[Sdperkins]

Fair enough mate. Look forward on seeing the final piece

 

[h701micra]

Got lazy dubitis

I'd struggle to get it out if I had all day

 

[Belly93]

[h701micra]

Buy the steel I'll build you one

 

[Belly93]

Maybe next year

 

[h701micra]

Well I'm caging nissanubaru so when the steel comes up cheap for that I'll message you. And anyone else that wants some

 

[Belly93]

Thanks Andy

 

[karlj]

How much would you charge? Wouldn't mind a proper cage for charlie

 

[h701micra]

Thanks Andy

Your welcome

Never thought about it. What type of cage? Standard 6 point? or a full on rally spec cage?

 

[Belly93]

Either?

 

[h701micra]

Standard 6 point requires less material and less fuss ( assuming it wraps around the dash not through it)
6 'poles' 6 bends. Fairly simple... sort of.
Full spec cage is almost double work and material
Chuck a price at me

 

[Belly93]

I would probably just be after a 6 point

 

[h701micra]

So if I do
6 point £100 + materials
And rally spec £200 + materials
Would that be fair?
I'll get a materials guesstimate in a mo

That's a cracking price

 

[h701micra]

Then I'll stand by it
Does Charlie fancy being my k11 guinea pig
K10 I'm alright with

 

[karlj]

We'll have to see how everything else pans out before I say yes

If charlie's guinea pig it'd have to be cheaper to you only fair

Mate If thats what it would cost then I might get you to do mine =P haha

 

[Sdperkins]

Although you live to far away

 

[h701micra]

Although you live to far away

Where abouts are you?

 

[h701micra]

I could try and do it in bolt in form and post it to you?

 

[karlj]

Well we're half way there the bank manager didn't say no

 

[Sdperkins]

Where abouts are you?

Clacton-on-sea. Hmmm might have to give the bolt idea a thought, although I prefer the finish to fully welded in place and feel that its stronger but that might not be true

 

[h701micra]

Bolt in then have someone weld it place. At worst I'll cone do it

Depending how long it would take to do I could make the trip and make a weekend out of it or something lol

 

[h701micra]

With it being a K10 I can prefab most of it. So shouldn't take long. Full day I'd guess. 2 at most

Awesome, will have to give you a message nearer the time

 

[h701micra]

Ok matey. If you wanna sort out what steel you want approx 6 metres. I'll double check later

 

[Sdperkins]

I got no clue lol I wanna paint the cage after anyway or do you mean get the tubing? But I need a job first so this wont happen any time soon I'm afraid

 

[h701micra]

Yea the tubing I'll sort it if you like. Dont worry no rush

 

[karlj]

What size steel would be best?

 

[Sdperkins]

Yea the tubing I'll sort it if you like. Dont worry no rush

Nearer the time I will ask for advice on what type to get... as I haven't got a clue.

I'd recommend 40mm x 2mm wall chaps

 

[karlj]

Cool should be easy enough to source

 

[h701micra]

It is cheap too for what it is
6 metres of 1.5"/37mm tubing is £25
