jegs makes a bolt in kit for there cages, i think it's an extra 50 bucks. Not sure how much your gonna want it though, it's not nearly as rigid as a welded cage, and over time, the bolt holes will elongate, and basically make the cage no more than 100 pounds of baggage in the car. hope this helps you out...

Although the bars can be bolted to the floor as per NHRA specifications (get a rule book), a bar that is bolted together (front and rear braces to main hoop) is only cosmetic and offers no strength or rollover protecting. It also won't pass a tech inspection if your car runs quicker than 11.99 in the 1/4
