Needed it tbh, the omp one i had didnt sit far enough back or high enough to the roof for me with the new seat. im 6ft 6 and head was above the roll hoop and feet were mashed under pedals.
hoping this solves it.

I didnt find the omp fit bad tbh.
however the way it mounted infront of the B pillar was really bad news for me. This one the B pillar bar mounts behind about level so should give me a few inches. PLus sits alot higher to roof, which for a cage is so important to me.
Tempted to go a bit mad on it and go triangulation of A bar etc... but donno.

Them few extra inches make alot of difference dude,the safety devices cage just fits that bit more better than the omp cages...did you get the plate mounts with it??

Need to get new mounts as the Box sections and L brackets were very well welded in and wouldnt come out. (despite a few hours of grinding lol)
So email has been sent to AB about getting some to use.
I just really really help it solves my issues. I need to get set rails welded in right on the floor (really strengthended) as low as i can go really, then should all be gravy!
