anyone give me a better place to find a cage for a 650 ltr tank flat, they seem to cost a fortune. Or are there any alternatives to a cage that you know of. cheers.

straps

yep to the inch long anchor point bolts

[L.J.Thorpe]

or the anchor points that you get someone to fit for you if yours are not up to the job
a  small retaining frame helps

straps will not hold a 650ltr tank in a crash the tank will go through me,through the wall i hit and into the next field, i wont live i have straps holding down my 400ltr tank and have risked enough, i think the local welder is my best bet anyone know of pics anywhere i can get to explain to them.

Here is a pic of the template neil williams put on here for a 400 litre tank.
It will give an idea of what is wanted.

[matty72]

how much did your cage cost u mate

[mark dew]

I don't have a frame. I use straps and bars drilled through the chassis.
Got the fixing kit from cleantech.

Funny, they will hold a large four wheel drive on a transporter, maybe the AA use them too, when they pick up your broken down van and stick you in the crew cab?
