Hi does anyone have a recommendation for a company that fits roll cages? Looking for one for my tr7.
Cheers

Can't recommend them yet but have plans to visit Wiechers in Germany this year.
They have equipment that scans the car and the cage is designed and fabricated from there.

Safety devices have done cages for the TR7.  If a 2nd hand one would do - might get one from S & S Preparations or Robsport.  I saw a rear cage sell on eBay for under £200.00

Think http://www.trenterprises.com/ TR Enterprises do new cages.

When I got a cage for my Vitesse some years ago - you had to choose between club grade and FIA spec.  FIA spec was much more expensive.

It depends on your budget and technical requirements what you get.  If for road use and pose value a club spec will do - that is what I have.  If you want to do real motor sport will need FIA spec.

PLEASE help us to maintain a friendly forum, use Report post button if you see anything you are unhappy with. Thanks.

Adam,
Do not be confused by the classification of "club" and "FIA" roll cages.
If you aspire to competition, even club rallies, read the regs of the events you wish to enter.   Rallying has complex rules, that in some event types exempt you from having a roll cage!  Talk to the Clubs that arrange the events you fancy.
But if you are required to fit one, it MUST be to the specs given in the MSA Blue Book, Section K.   https://www.msauk.org/assets/153191commonregulationsforcompetitorssafetyk.pdf

Of course, I would recommend that you get yourself a proper cage anyway.    The "club/FIA" difference is usually in the triangulation of the cage.    If this is omitted it saves money, and makes the cage uselessly weak.

John

PS Just seen you intend stage rallying - no choice there, FIA only!  See: https://www.msauk.org/assets/281324specificregulationsforrallyingr.pdf  Reg 48.10.1.  And all the rest!  J.
PPS Protection & Performance will fit you a bespoke cage, although they probably have patterns for TR7s.  They are Military specialists as well, so quality is not in doubt.   http://www.ppcages.com/ J

That is not quite correct it does not have to be to FIA spec for use in this country but DOES have to meet the MSA regs/drawings which are shown in the MSA blue book.

I can recommend Protection & Pwerformance, they did my weld in cage in my Nova.
