are all alloy cages that dangerous? im starting to worry about mine, i got my full alloy cage around 3 to 4 years ago from bond roll cages. at the time i was told it was approved aslong as the bar which runs besides the seat is welded and that i have padding in the right places. i dont mind getting rid of that one if it is found to be dangerous as my friends and i race on closed circuits, paddocks etc and im afraid it might get used some day. if it is, what would be the best material ,keeping in mind i dont want to weigh as much as MrNismos XB Falcon
also a question for us tazzie guys who woulld make the best cages around? something else to look out for is that you can still use your window winders, if i didnt have electric windows in my sedan icouldnt wind my windows up and down and have the bar that goes over the roof in the middle the legal distance from my head. I am also challenging my mates to a drag race at the tarmak dragstrip (so my car will be scruteneered ((or how ever it is spelled)) for the first time there) what will i need to do to pass this (eg. overflow bottle)? pps . my diff is on its way out,im too busy to do a conversion myself so im getting a diff specialist to do it right the first time. i might just get the shortend commodore conversion (with disks) so future upgrades wont worry it. is there any real pit falls i need to worry about (rear brakes stopping better than the front sunny brakes)??? id expect a pro to do it right but of course it dosnt alway work out that well.

in the cheap and nasty department the best prices me and my brother could find was about $800 for basic six point CAMS job aswell as far as i know noone does it cheaper.

Good to hear from you again arg012. Hows things? Is your Datto still going hard?
As I suppose you know, I sold the Mini and got my XB ute on the road finally. Sold the Mini for $3400 which is pretty good seeing as I bought it for $1500. : )

About those alloy cages. As far as I know (still have to check CAMS manual) the alloy cages were banned from competition use. This doesnt mean that they are all crap but some (most) are not as strong as the steel ones.

As for who makes them down here...I have seen in ads that Dynamic Welding can do them, in Derwent Park. Some guy up north with a private buisness does them, but hes up north. I would give Autocraft a call and ask them who does them, seeing as they build racecars.

P.S. If you do find out some prices for cages let me know cause Im in the market for one for the coupe, cheers.
