quick question for you cage owners

will getting a removeable crossbar allow me to recline the seats or will the sides of the main hoop still interfere with reclining the seats?

That would depend completely on how the specific bars were bent. I'm sure if you gave your cage builder the specs that the driver's seat had to recline to a specific position, he could put a cross-bar far enough back to allow a harness to attach, but still let the seat recline.

You're going to have to put the upright hard against the plastic side panel. Then there will be a 2.5" projection for the clevis/pin that allows you to remove the cross-bar. Looking at my Formula seats, it looks like it could be done. Not sure why you would want to do it, but that's up to you
