1018 - no problems with the back or getting in or out. It looks worse than it is. probably won't add a lot of stiffness as it is only bolted to 6 points on the floor
smac - totally bolt in. the only welded parts are the plates at the bottom of the legs that spread the load.
aaron, DRB33N, it is a Bond, although i got it from someone who used to frequent this forum, but then disappeared, so the price i paid was somewhat less than retail. I think they retail for around $1100 - 1200, but Stuartminidlx is probably better to ask for a price since he only got his recently. That might sound expensive, but the guy who welded the plates onto the rear legs for me will build you a very special multi point fully welded cage for around $4500-5000. He has recently done Greig Malure's and Peter Mousers cages, and they are fantastic. But those are real full time race cars, not like mine.
and yes 1310/71, i do believe it
is the real McCoy
cheers
