A bolt in cage still is only as good as it's attachment into the car
They redid the cages after Jim had the same issue, apparently they're a lot better now, although there's still issues with the dash bars and rear cross notching.
I still won't touch them, if someone wants a cage, they bring the car and have it custom made here to fit the shell - too much hassle fixing other firms f**kups.
Mountings for a 6-point are usually either a plate or box foot up front in the side of the footwell, a box foot in the corner behind the seats where the floor rises up for the rear bench/fuel tank, and then either the big crossmember where the beam mounts in the rear or sometimes the rear arches depending on the cage, optionally tied in to b-pillars/a-pillars or stitch welded around the door hole depending on regs.
Don't forget to factor fitting costs in if you can't weld/fabricate the feet/mountings into the car.
