Join / attend a local historick club meet and ask around. Not all cages / builders have the CAMS approval. Sorry don't know of anyone down your way.

Jamie try rory thompson at sailsbury[ his company is ASP racing]
He can build or you can build to cams specs and he can inspect it.
They ain't cheap. Cold drawn tube is expensive and you have to get the bends right.
The roll cage in my sprint cost over $800 just for the tube. There are not too many places around here that sell it.

Mad Dat Has made a few nice cages speak to steve and he will put you in the right direction

Walker Chassis also do heaps of cages for lots of cars

Option Three Bond cages are fine to just make sure you have all the paper work for CAMS

Make sure you seat is mounted in the correct position BEFORE the cage is made or you could be in big trouble

Read the CAMS manual and have a good under standing of what is required

UMMM last cage i know of being built was a half cage and that cost $1200

Do you need a full cage i only have half .. I know quite a few who have rolled with half cages and now worries

Half cage with side intrusion bars if i was going to do one again ..

Let me know if you get stuck

Cheers Beanie
