that clubman crashed just down the road from my house. i remember asking around about it but cant remember exactly what failed. Rob isnt the kind of guy to compromise on his brakes though This is a quote from the owner (it was the orig pin but was in good condition i dont know how why it failed as it was nowhere to be seen found during the police inspection but during that inspection a bolt was put in and the brakes tested and they still worked) Allan |

it just goes to show, when you work on your own car either by choice/love of or budget reasons always check & double check then a month or so later check things again for tightness, if unsre use some of that semi setting threadlock & sparay laquer on all your nuts n bolts after to prevent corrosion & sometimes slippage

I've had a bolt in rollcage sit in my greenhouse for over a year, but haven't got round to fitting it yet.

I was always concerned about a cage offering more metal to impale or crack ribs on in the majority of impacts rather than offer protection. The way I look at it. I would rather break my arm on a rollcage door bar then have half the body side come in on me. Thats why I fitted the rollcage really. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:
yeah I gave it all a good prodding |

Ive always hated the thought of side impacts more than anything, can just imagine a heft enough wack and no door bars you'd be thinner than a pop tart. |

i have had a big impact in me rally x metty, the cage saved me no doubt, i did clatter my knee off the door bars, so i would suggest lagging the whole lot around you so the entire apperture around the door !
