I didn't use chroommolybdeen because there's almost not to get here in Holland. For what I understand from several Americans it is much easier to get in America.

Has anyone heard of these guys, http://autoweldchassis.com/rbc.ivnu. They have a full funny style 14 point cage for supers and Std. beetles. Really cheap prices. 12 point for 299.95

I don't have.

But I find it to cheap to be good (just speculating). I want to see an installed one before I even should think of buying that one.

Ok, i'll let you take a look at mine once it's installed, I just bought the 12 point version with the "M" style door bars so its a little easier for the girls to get into (I'll have my girlfriend until she realizes how much money I'm putting into this thing [i've hidden my 14'' rotors and 6 pot calipers for too long, I want to show everybody i know!]).

AutoWeld said it would be done in a week to my specs. $518 shipped with the extra options. ($299 for the cage, $50 for the bent door bars, 150 shipped, and tax)

Whats cool about them is that they have an optional hinged door bar that "swings" out by pulling a pin so its really easy to jump in (good for all you guys with wives).

Wish me luck

If only my girlfriend knew how much I've spent already. And how much I have left to buy!

That doesn't sound like a bad price, but I'd like to see it too before I would want to take the plunge.

Goodluck...

For sure let us see how it turns out, im interested in buying one of there 10 points if the quality and fitment is good. Would sure be easier then bending your own tube if all is well.

I cancelled the order which sucks, i'm ordering a 993 rear end first thing tomorrow morning, once i get that i'll order the cage in 2 weeks. 518 shipped isn't bad for a 12 point cage with all of the options.

I'm trying to decide whether i should make my own or order one. 518 shipped.

How much would you say you spent on the materials not including your tools?

I think around 500 Euro.

If it was an welded one it would be almost the half less.

Wiebrand (p.s. I can't convince you for an Heigo ?? hahaha)

Good luck
