Default Roll Cage Info

Hi,

I'm planning on fitting a full 6pt roll cage into the Falcon. It will be for NSW rego and I just found out that the welded in front halfs aren't allowed?....the front section needs to be removed for the street?

Can anyone confim this?

I've heard some engineers being able to sign off on a full cage? But I can't confirm these rumors.

Looking for any recommended engineers in Syd or Newcastle that has experience with signing off on roll cages etc.

Cheers

As in my pm,they dont allow them in NSW anymore..

There are creative ways around it,but I would be carefull as to how the cage is fitted,having a heap of room around the driver/passenger and making it as inconspicuous from outside the car as possible..
