This has turned into a thread about the RPM cages. People interested in these cages are more than likely comparing them to a harness bar. If you had a choice between a harness bar and the RPM cage, which would you rather have?
I'll bet you would take the RPM cage.

yes the first one is prob $3-4k but the others are in the $1000-1500 range. all im simply saying is make sure you say "its bolted to an unsafe, non-structural location" or just simply move the mount up a tad haha.
id rather bolt my belt to the cage, you're correct.

These look way safer than some of the garbage you see from china or japan.

i think bolt in is plenty safe. thats why SCCA and NASA allow them. but they must bolt to the correct spots. ill have to read up on the SCCA hand book. i do believe they tell you where to go and how.

My assumption is that RPM is really the only one building a bolt on rollbar for our platform. |
i agree. but i think the rear ones i showed like shovel, spohn and mike are just for street and HPDE days and only a little better than the RPM. i wouldnt call them race cars like Doran or the first one. ive said my piece, just want everyone to be aware and be safe.
