This kit allows you to install a 8.50 Cage kit with relative ease. Without spending a lot of money on a notcher and required tools.
Due to the nature of each individual car some adjustment is required to fit perfectly for your vehicle.
To do this, we recommend a sanding drum/roll. Pictured below.
We have these on our website if you do not have one of your own.MOORE RACE
CHASSIS MRC S-197 8.50 Cage Kit - assembly 1 This guide is to be a supplement to common roll cage installation techniques.
We are providing you with some measurements to help you set the bars where they need to go to fit other bars. All measurements are not provided.
Make sure the car is level, front to back and side to side.
Step 1
Level car to floor. This is critical!
Make sure the car is level side to side and front to back.
Step 2
Holes need to be cut in the floor to be able to run the cage through. Cut enough to drop the cage, but not to much where it’s a pain to place tin over the hole. Make sure you clean the edges of the hole as to not cut yourself and to make laying tin down easier later on. Below you can see where we cut and put a patch panel back down and then seam sealed.MOORE RACE CHASSIS MRC

Clean Seam Sealer and get floor to bare metal where the 6×6 plates will land on the floor. Also shown here is what can be done to assist welding the tops of the cage. Cut small holes to allow the cage to drop through the floor. This allows you to reach those tough places on top of the cage. Then when finished welding, slide the plates under the cage structure and weld the plates to the floor.MOORE RACE CHASSIS MRC S-197 8.50 Cage Kit - assembly
