Default Cusco rollcage

I've been researching the Cusco 6-point roll cage (found here). I was wondering how they are installed (the version that doesn't require dash cutting). Does it just bolt in? What all is required to install.
Thanks for any info, and pics welcome .

I belive its all bolt in. I know for a fact us taller guys cannot use it because it requires the seats to be moved up signifigantly. Im pretty sure hand tools are required for the install, maybe a torque rench to make sure the cage is tighted down to spec. Im sure someone who has one and chime in aswell.

Hm, I didn't think about how far I'd have to move the seat up. I'm just shy of 6' and would have a problem with the seat being moved up significantly. Can any owners verify this?

You mean this one? With the bolt aimed at your head? That piece of "safety" equipment? No, I don't know anything about it.

and i'm sure you can find some thing better

anyway, my tought is , if it's for track use, go with a real cage (a fully weld one) and if it's just for show, go with no cage at all.

no offence but i don't like race looking car that never see track use
