Tall cage or lowered floor

[Fishy Dave]

Hello,

 

Having just fitted my second hand cage (1996 De dion 1400 SS race car) and sat in the new Tillet I have realised my helmet constantly touches the bar, and that's before adding any padding!

 

So, I'm after a tall cage or lowered floor. What have you got?

Dave,

 

I've not got either item for sale though I had a similar predicament to you. I'm 6'2" and needed a lowered floor AND tall cage.

 

Regards

Me too, 6ft 4''.

 

I had Caged make me a Roadsport cage with the Superlight roof hoops 100 mm taller at rear. £621 incl VAT, fitted first time no messing & was powdercoated as well for that price. Much cheaper if you go for the straight diagonal version, IIRC £400 + VAT.

Interesting.

 

I paid Caged a visit last week, and for both versions including VAT were going to be £600+ ☹️

 

So, I have cut out the part of the floor which the seats mount to (have left the bit where your feet go), and have taken these to a local engineering company to make a lowered floor in 2mm alloy. Have gone for an inch and a half lower, without honeycomb, so should get a drop of 2".

They have quoted £180 for both sides, which I thought was good value.
