Archie Procter Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 AFAIK the Caged ones and the standard SD ones are the same height. The reason Caged ones might look taller with driver in is that they were only supplied with cars with lowered floors - i.e. Academy 04 onwards. SD did a "tall" cage but Caged have/do not, I guess as all the racecars now have lowered floors so you would need to be very tall indeed to need a lowered floor and a tall cage. I know of one special order Caged one that is slightly higher than standard, but I expect this to be the priciest option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markc Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi FTH How much and what year car is it for ? I have an 89 dedion - dont think it will fit - will it ???? MarkC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTH Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Its on a 2001 dedion, looking to replace it with FIA bar and JJ hood, so that puts it at approx £300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTH Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 The vertical dim from mounting plate behind seat to underside of the top of the cage is 410mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie Procter Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 which does indeed mean you have a 'tall' cage. These are rare in comparison to the standard SD cages and a lot more expensive - new price (if you can still get them, which I doubt) is 700 quid inc the VAT In reasonable condition I would suggest its value is 350-400, I have never seen one of these go for less than 350.

simonbell Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 Thanks for photo and dimensions, I am not convinced by how the tall cage looks so I'm going to hold off and go for a std cage with lowered floors.

Archie Procter Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Simon, sorry but this type of cage won't fit a live axle, the rear arms of the later DD cage go into the chassis behind the driver/passenger and bolt through there. LA ones have a mounting plate at the base of the cage's rear arms, and sit on top of the chassis at the bulkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
