Will this cage fit?

Rob,
Yes, I think it probably will fit. But do be aware that a Safety Devices bolt-in cage is not 100% bolt-in ie. you have to weld in plates to the sills and wheel arches to bolt the cage to. I put one into my old C2 at the time Safety Devices were going bust / restructuring so was unable to buy the mounting plates for the cage (they should be available again from the company assuming they don't come with the cage you are buying - I've seen the advert !), but Cris at 911 Bodyshop was able to fabricate some up when he installed the cage for me without much trouble.
If you do decide to go for this one, I have a complete front section for a 964 Safety Devices cage, which I didn't bother installing, sitting in the rafters of the barn at home looking lonely. Yours for £100 if you want it ...........

The "barn"! How posh does that sound.
Rob, your car needs a rollcage. It will complete the track car look.
The only issue is if the cage is for a sunroof car or not.
Your car has no sunny, if the cage you want is from a sunroof car then the roll hoop will be lower down. Then you cant see as much in the rear view.

I recently removed the old Safety Devices bolt-in (which had been welded in) from my car and had a new cage fabricated. A few comments on the cage in my car.
It did not meet NASA rules for cage construction as it lacked a true diagonal brace in the main hoop and had too many bends in other tubes. It apparently met the old PCA rules.
Sun visors could not be used with it do to the location of the top bar, it did clear the sunroof.
I was not happy with the single door bar as providing very much protection.
Some pics of the old cage (Turtle Mk 1 and Mk 2) and new cage (Turtle Mk 3) are here: http://gallery.mac.com/tomllama

Got the pics today but couldn't tell if it was a sunrrof cage or not. mailed the seller to check.
If it is (didn't all uk 930's have sunroofs?) I may give it a miss.
Shame really cause it looks in great nick.
