Well I have after much searching at last taken delivery of an OEM 996 GT3 Clubsport cage. I should thank NXI20 for his link to one advertised by Gert (Carnewal) on Rennlist. I had some dramas all of which I will not go into but included the next day currency transfer being taken by Carnewal's bank (KBC) but not credited to his account (and this is pre Brexit !!).
Anyway as my car was originally a Comfort specification I will need to get the plates and captive bolts welded into the car. Slippydiff has put forward Fernsport as a possible solution as they did the marvellous Zanzibar one which featured in his informative write up on the fettled 4.3 996 GT3 (Link: http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=122766). As I have the KW Competition coilovers sat in my shed it probably makes sense to get it all done in one go.
So in short can any recommend someone more down south who will make a nice job of fabricating the connecting plates and captive bolts whilst cutting the carpet to accommodate it all. Clearly my stainless steel Tequipment half cage will be on the market once all is sorted.
I can of course always get the two jobs (suspension and cage seperately) as I am not sure what it will save on cost but I am open to suggestions.

Ps. I will get the cage sprayed Riviera Blue to match the car but can always sprt that before it is booked in.
