Hi Sarto
Old English White also fitted the TTR cage to his fixed head coupe - here's the thread:

He mentions that he needed to remove the steering wheel and the gear lever to get the cage in...
I'm halfway through installing mine - but into a DHC, so there isn't the same challenge. Perhaps I should try with the hood up, so I can see what you guys have to put up with?

Greg, thanks for the info. All that and Rohan's special made version should give me the curage to play in the garage.
As a non racer, I like the idea of a roll cage and would find it a plus if I was to purchase an Elan, just for the protection. I once had a 1966 triumph spitfire and had a single roll bar behind the drivers seat, just because it looked cool. The way it was attached, there was no protection. Back then, I had no concept of danger. Now, any possible interuption of daily breathing is considered.
Thanks, Sarto
