i've had a few PITA moments with the cage.
1. couldnt get the car high enough off the ground with the jack that I had to tap a 1/2" hole with the drill bit I bought...so I ended up picking up a shorter drill bit from Mcmaster-Carr. I love how I can willcall from them same day
2. the kit comes with short 1.25" bolts for the main roll hoop, which aren't long enough for me to initially draw up the floor and pull the sandwich plate in with the nut and bolt. So I picked up a handful of a 2" bolts and a 4 nuts w/o nylon locks to initially pull the sandwich plate up, before replacing it with the shorter bolts.
3. It was a pain aligning all 4 holes until I realized that its near impossible unless its bolted in a certain pattern, starting with the bolt that sits off on the "bent" part of the footprint.
Live and learn I suppose. I finally finished bolting down one side tonight. Hopefully I can do it faster now on the other side, and then all that's left for the cage is to tighten up all the other connection points.
