You could give Ray Cunningham a buzz, he runs the Galway Mini Centre and also races and rallys Minis.

If the Mini's for road use, is there a problem with having a roll cage fitted?

I thought they are fine for road use once they are bolted in and not welded in

Not trying to throw a clanger in the works but the only definite answer is to check with your insurance company. It's always better to check beforehand than to give them a reason not to cough up afterwards. They may say a cage is OK but they may also look at it as a modification.

If you are getting it from the UK try to get it posted to an address in the north and collect it. There will be a good difference in price for posting. If you are putting a cage in I would strongly advise getting the correct high density roll cage padding for it as your naked head is not designed to be bumped off steel tubing at speed :lol:

There aren't any manufacturers over here , so someone has to pay the postal costs at some point. :(
