now i feel like a right fool haha i clicked on suspension bushings but not the next page - thanks mate

I was looking forward to replacing all the rubber in the rear suspension, I take it the diagonal torsion bar thingy rubber replacement is a PITA then?

In the meantime, the Heigo rollcage came in and I test fitted it today:
It really fits nice and is very close (good) to roof and the A- and B-pillars.

OK, I REALLY like that fit, do a have a shot of the distance to the roof? Is there a US distributor for HEIGO?

Yeah, here it is, but dificult to see because of the very contrasting white headliner and flash...In reality its snug against the headliner. I had to specify steel sunroof or not. Its that critical. Piece of german 'kwalität'

That cage looks fantastic Walter, superb fit.

This is very nice and safe addition in your car wally, it will be more stiffer now in the corners!

... and as i see from the photos it needs a little triming in the dash in order to fits nicely!

Rgrds,
Jim

Yeah, don't remind me... No gains without pains right? The fresh air supply will have to be rerouted some way as well...

Jim · #10 January 14th 2010, 04:13

Indeed......without pain there is no gain!!

This is a picture of a friend of mine and his project and how it looks like after the surgery....it might helps you!

Wally · #11 January 14th 2010, 04:20

That is way too nice!

oasis · #12 January 15th 2010, 03:38

As one who had asked about cages a while ago, this is great additional info for me. Very nice! Thanks.

ricola · #13 January 15th 2010, 18:00

Nice, I'll be interested to hear how you get on with them!

wrenchnride247 · #14 January 15th 2010, 22:59

I'm officially jealous

ricola · #15 January 16th 2010, 07:13

Just a thought, will these inner uniballs work without mods on a bug chassis? I know the inner bushes are normally different but can't remember how exactly...

Also, what overall spring rate do you have at the back and how do you find it? I'm trying to work out roughly what springs to get for some coilovers in addition to the stock torsion bar...
