SCCA APPROVED BOLT IN ROLL CAGE

Is there an SCCA approved roll cage that can be bolted into an 82SC that does not require any welding? I have checked Autopower but even their bolt in kit requires welding of the door bars. Plan is to run Improved Touring (ITR)

I'll provide the inevitable "You really don't want to do that" post:
You really don't want to do that. While I have no problem with bolt-in cages in light weight, low powered IT cars (crash tested several myself, including a "total"), the cars in ITR require different consideration.
Not only are the cars in ITR bigger and faster, but you'll also be sharing the track with other "big bore" classes like A Sedan, GT 1-L and D Prod. Those things are also bigger and faster, and the inevitable multi-car incident is going to involve more energy than a bunch of beater ITB cars.
You need to re-think this.

Not only that, but you're giving up performance with a bolt-in. Use the cage as a means to add a lot of rigidity to the chassis while also placing weight where you need it in the chassis to meet min weight and achieve good corner balance.
