Birkin roll cage

[iceberg1234]

So, I want to replace the stock bar on my '03 Birkin with something more protective for track days (a roll cage). I see a couple of options: Buy the cage sold by Texas Motor Works, or find a local shop to fabricate one. The one from TMW has the advantage of being bolt in (and can be swapped out for stock easily) but is a bit pricey, especially with shipping to central NJ. A custom bar needs be designed and I need to find a shop nearby that is competent in both design and safe fabrication (and could also get pricey). Comments, advice, random thoughts?

I'm taking my car to George Alderman at Midatlantic Caterham in Delaware on Jan 6th to have his guy fab up a roll cage using my existing tall Roll bar.

 

He did this for JBH, and the work was nicely done. I'm sure if Jeff Checks in he can post up a picture or two off his Cage.

 

I hope your trackday plans might include our 7s gathering at NJMP:cheers:

Thanks, Tom. That's only about 90 minutes from here, so is do-able. I'll give them a call. Yep, 7 gatherings at NJMP are in the plans......

Excellent! His guy may be able to bend them up at the same time.

 

Looking forward to seeing you out there on the track, Make sure to get out with us earlier in the season to get the feel of the car and the track prior to the gathering in July. A day in the novice group with instruction is time well spent.
