As the title says, my new roll cage doesn't fit properly. We ratchet-strapped it up and squeezed it just enough to fit it in, but the two rear feet are too narrow and miss the wheel arch once we'd released the straps (the front two feet sit nicely in the bins). Is this a common problem or have I got a duff one? And I would be greatful for any solutions :) See pics below:

Pic of the whole cage if this helps?




Somebody please help?!


Cheers, Tom

you have to put your back up against one post and push other out with your foot while someone drills holes out for it.

Weld a bar on for harness, making sure it makes it easyer to fit *smiley*

This is what I would do. ^^^^

It might be the case that the ratchet strap was too tight and its no sprung back fully? *oh well*

Don't weld a Safety Devices cage, It'll void the FIA-approval.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.
