   Hi,
   I was just wondering if there was an guide on fitting a bolt in roll cage? I picked up a half cage last night and was wondering do I need to drill holes and what bolts do I need?
   This is my cage....
   
   Cheers in advance

   It will vary on the cage buddy.
   
   My understanding is that some cages pretty much will bolt to the floor when you drill holes, others require a fitting kit, where you have mount plates welded into the car and then bolt the cage to these.
   
   If the cage bolts to the floor directly as it were, you want to be using spreader plates on the underside so that in the worst case if you end up needing to use it, it doesn't just pull the nuts through the floor of the car.
