A roll cage most def. helps stiffen the car. Depending on where you intend
to run, there are a lot of trick you can do to stiffen up the ol' TR (hmm,
I'll bet that comment sets of some SPAM alerts!)
What most roll cage builders will do is add a front hoop in the area of
the dash, then connect that hoop to the rear main hoop with upper/lower
horizontal braces. Now, depending on the applicable rules body, a cage
builder might extend horiz. bars from the front hoop toward the front of
the car. Vintage guys will stop at the firewall, current SCCA types will
then extend from teh firewall to the front shock towers. In the rear they
will rake the vertical supports all the way to the end of the rear frame
rails and then add braces that can be used as shock mounts for "big mutha"
coil overs

GoodParts is one. There are others in the UK (like Niel Revington).
