Aren't they usually welded in. My friend has a mustang gt vert and he got a roll bar welded in. Maybe you should ask the company that makes it how it goes in.

Autopower cages are not weld in... they are bolt in. No you are not going to have to cut it up to get it in the car. Would they be in business very long if the customer had to cut up the cage just to get it into the car? They are bolt together (and bolt in) cages. Make sure to re-torque all bolts after the cage has been in ur car for a few weeks. However, if you really want the cage to perform its best, you should weld it in (that's what i'm doing).

Do you mean you're going with a weld-in cage or you're going to weld a bolt-in? Is that really a good idea?

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, welding in a bolt-in cage is still a great idea. The only difference between bolting in and welding in bolt-in cages is that on the one you weld in, you have holes in the base plates you don't use. And the stiffness of course. I am welding in a weld-in cage. I would do a bolt in but no one makes one for S14's that's worth a grain of salt. So if i'm going to do it i might as well go all out. I'll be posting pics in a few days for those of u who care. But anyways, autopower cages are some of the best off the shelf bolt-in cages stateside.

dam u are welding it in?? dam what i would give to know how to weld.... good.

if someone else is weding it let me know about how much it costs...
and does anyone happend to know how u would attach it to the floor? u would just drill a hold in the floor and stuck a bolt through it?

bolt in cages are very easy it only takes patientes to get the parts in,now the main problem with all cages is the sopport points ( were they are going to be welded or bolted ) if your floor pans arent up to the task it will rip the sheet metal, be very carefull in chosing the cage , make sure it is for the vehicule you have and not modefied for it , its better of to ask what some might think as stupid or anoying questions and be sure of mind .

Man, I hope you are not putting this in yourself. You have to pull the seat out so you have room to work. You drill into the floor and the rollbar is supported by a thick backing plate that reinforces the floor on the other side. Without the backing plate the roll bar can be torn out very easily in an accident.
Funny thing you mention the Mustang roll bar. Im a member of the norcal shelby club where all convertibles are required to have a roll bar and the tops on convertibles must be down when racing. Ive seen one get torn out at a track event when the driver spun off the track and the tow driver pulled him out by it. It was a bolt in and it was not reinforced. That Dumbass!!
Which autopower did you go with?
