TGJR Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Just wondering if anyone knows of a company who can make a bespoke roll cage for a 911. My car used to have a Safety Devices rear cage but the main problem was that it required removal of the inertia belts as there was not enough space for them due to the upright legs of the cage. This meant that it was a harness only which was fine for track use etc. but a bit of a pain for touring when the harness is restrictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hi TGJR, I have a heigo rear cage with harness bar and you can retain the factory seat belts. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevil Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'd try their website and order direct, not sure there is a UK stockist? http://www.heigo.de/index.html Google Translate is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondrian Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Remember reading somewhere that actual delivery overshot their estimated delivery dates by a few weeks/months, that was a few years ago though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestershire Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You could always get your SD cage modified to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Bernau Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 reddevil's cage used to be mine. It was ordered from Heigo in Germany and came in good time on a pallet. Weichers also provide another similar option IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) Can't recall if I caught up with you Richard on how you ran it - it came to me with the diagonal and belt bar installed, but the additional two pieces to make a full "X" in a box. I did manage to fit those but was unsure if correctly - it was a bit of a struggle. Doesn't look right to me but with the joiner section flipped no way it would fit.

MarkJ Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 don't Jaz fit Heigo cages? Cant remember for sure but when I looked into it last year I think they popped up as an official supplier/fitter. I still fancy a rear cage in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondrian Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I sat in a 964 with a bolt on rear cage, it was very squeeky - why is that? Is it because it was bolt on or alu or just not a good make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaky Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 This folks seem to be a UK distributer: http://www.jasmine-porschalink.co.uk/porsche-rollcages-90-c.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 That was the outfit beaky. Someone fill out the enquiry and let us all know the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddevil Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 By the way, on a plus note for the Heigo, all the bars are adjustable length, unlike a lot of other bolt-in ones. This means you can tailor it exactly for your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Group buy at Jasmine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondrian Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 If you are looking for group purchase you are probably better off to cut out the middle man and go direct to Heigo. I might be in for group buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 But Heigo will not come and fit it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGJR Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I got a 911 SSD Heigo rear cage fitted in the end. Found out about a garage about 15 miles away from me who specialise in Porsche who sourced the cage from Germany for me (took about 6 weeks) and fitted it in a day - great job! My next question is are these cages classed as a homologated cage? This is a requirement for French hillclimbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddy Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I will see if I can find out from David Strange for you Thomas as he has been doing them for a number of years. He does run a full cage and has to have FIA approved and in date harnesses etc. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGJR Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Ian - David sent me the regs for Etretat and it merely says that cars must have "a homologated roll cage" so just need clarification on that. Probably best to contact the event organiser directly. I know that the Heigo cage is good for an MSA log book as the chap who fitted it has one in his car which attained this but things are not always that simple with the French!!
