Hello Everyone,
I Need a Roll Cage for a 1996 960 Estate,Or from any Volvo estate for me to Modify even if its tatty, its the roof hoops e.t.c. that are my main requirment.Also I would like a 960 Mesh Grille if any such item Exists.
Any info or leads greatfully accepted as ive tried most of the big Roll Cage companys and all they can offer is a Mega Bucks custom build.
I will travel for the right item and pay cash.
Thanks Brian, Ashby-De-La-Zouch. Leicestershire, 07976 283660

It's probably a daft idea but if you can't buy one why not make your own?. Buy some CDS tubing and rent a pipe bender from a hire shop and away you go, what where you planing on doing with the car?.

Yes Tomcat,Ive only just started looking and I suppose you are right but as ive too many unfinished projects already I am trying to minimise on the work involved,If I found a similar size cage for the car I could cut and modify it to fit with some of the required bends already present.I made a cage a few years ago and thought afterwards it would have been quicker to have bought a second hand item with bends present.
Also IF someone had a ready made bolt in cage for my car I wouldnt have to rip all the interior out to start welding.

I thought Safety Devices did fairly cheap custom build roll cages......or am I just about ten years out of date?. Are you planning on doing any serious competing or is it just for road use?. I don't think any scrutineers would allow a car through that has a chopped about roll cage, hence why most company's use cds tubing.

The cage is for a 960 Estate for Run what you brung Drag racing,Nothing serious.
The cars got a 6 litre small block Chevy with a GMC 671 Blower and dual 600 cfm Holley carbs,Thought a rollcage might be a good idea !!!!!!!!!!!!
