    I recently purchased a 77 GTB that has had extensive engine, suspension and brake mods done. It will be a track car. We are in the process of stripping the interior. I had a half cage made in the UK and it does not fit correctly. In order to modify would destroy the integrity of the bar. I have no patience to wait for another.
    My shop does not have the capacity to construct a proper cage.
    I have seen some of the posts from others about 308 GTB Group 4 cars and have tried to reach out to them about purchasing the bars.
    I am looking for the main loop with the X cross bars along with the rear support braces that attach at the rear suspension pionts.
    If anyone could help or direct to someone that could -all leads appreciated
    Thanks

    Your best bet if to find a local chassis fabricator. Have them use 4130 chromoly tubing in 1 3/4 or 1 5/8 od tubing. .083 wall is standard but check your rule book. Do not let them convince you into using mild steel, the extra weight is not worth the savings.

    Pm me what area your in, perhaps we can recommend someone. Best of luck.
