Will they go in easy when a car has subframe connectors? Reason I ask Im about to order a wolfe 6 point bolt in and I have SLP subframes.

Are you getting a cage for protection or just to comply with a set of rules?

The reason I ask is because a bolt-in cage offers very little protection in a roll-over accident.

I race at this track and corner entry speeds are around 80-85mph. If you look at the picture gallery, you will see the car hit the barrier, went over, nose planted and fell on the roof, pancaking the roof.

If you look REALLY close, you can see the legs of the installed, bolt-in cage shoved through the floor pan of the car.

If you are going to install a cage, do it right and for the right reasons.

WOW scary picture of that mustang. I dont drag race,but I do run at willow springs road course. So can a bolt in be welded in also?

It's not the fact that it's a bolt-in, it's where a bolt-in has to be placed on the floor pan in order to access the bolts.

That is in a 3rd gen, but the back halves are essential the same as a 4th gen.

Instead of putting the legs in the rear passenger footwell, we wrap 1/8" plate around that floor pan gussett where the seats mount. We also wrap up the sides to incorporate the strangest part of the chassis, the rocker panel.

If you road course your car, it's best to be safe.

A guy named Alan Blaine at Blainefabrication.com looks like he is few hours from you, if you live in Santa Ana, Ca. He does amazing work.

I am pretty sure the bolt-in cages aren't even legal for road racing.

I don't think the OP is competing in a racing series. Sounds like a open track car that he uses for fun.

I dont compete, just do the 3-4 time track days at willow springs.
