The problem is in the mounting, most "bolt in " cages just bolt to the
floor, fiberglass is not much of a reinforcement. you will need a custom
built cage with mounts welded to the frame. Good luck getting in and out as
most sanctioning bodies require the side hoops be to the outermost position
in the car, meaning right beside your head. If all you need is a 4 point
Main and rear supports you will still need major fabrication to get the
required support. Also most sanctioning bodies that would require a cage
will also require a metal firewall between the engine and driver and anther
between the fuel tank (cell) and driver neither of which are in the safety
vehicle.
