Default Roll cage installation

I just purchased an S&W 10 point Chromoly Steel Roll Cage. It didn't come with an directions as to weld it in and i have a friend who will be welding it in for me. This will be going into my 1999 Civic Si.
1.Where can I find information on the installation of this cage?
2.What tools (besides a welder) are necessary to install the cage properly?
3.Is there anybody willing to weld in my cage at a reasonable price?
thanks for any help/ input

if your friend is welding it in then why ask if anyone will weld it in for a reasonable price?

would probably be best to find a shop with some experience in that field if possible..

or call the company back, or check their website for instructions maybe..

I have the same cage from SW and it fit like crap it needed alot of bending to get it to fit close and after bending it the harness bar was too short.Make sure the main hoop fits ok before you get started.

A cage should not be the first thing to try to do and learn while doing it.A cage is there to protect and if done wrong you can get hurt.Leave the cage to people who have done them and know where/how to install them.It will cost you double the money if it is done wrong.

Good Luck

Tony
