So Safety Devices themselves are a no go, busy for the whole year plus most of next apparently.
So choices are -
CSK - SD Cage - £2985.00 inc VAT
CSK - CSK Cage - £2485 inc VAT
Foleys - SD Cage - £2988 inc VAT
Gigglepin - SD Cage ~£5k
I like Chris at CSK and he does good work, Gigglepin is out for sure, Foleys don't know much of them, any experiences?
Worth the extra £500 for the SD cage?

Supply and fit.

Got a few minor bits done, mainly as my bloody wheel arch as starting to fall off! It's in bad shape and ideally I need new ones *sigh*
Though for the time being I've removed the shi tty awful screws that have been forced in and replaced them with some brass rivnuts, luckily there was no sign of corrosion under the arch
As you can see the arch has seen better days
Replaced with stainless socket heads, looks much nicer. Though I may blue them in the future, still undecided on that
Paints seen better days n all! Caught that arch going into the garage the other day
Thing is if I replace the arches as standard they will be black, not sure if I'll be happy with that look! Though if I get them painted (I can get them done pro for a very reasonable price) they will look too nice in comparison to the rest of the car I'll work that out when the time comes....
Currently run out of socket heads so the rest of the archs will have to wait.
Also fitted some new headlights! Free from a friend, much brighter and nice white light! Maybe I'll be able to see
Lucky I did as well as the headlight surround had corroded into the screws and the heads had rotted away...
I have got some HID's that could be fitted but I don't think I'll bother, also not certain it's legal/MOT passable to retro HID's?
Got some X-Trousers on the way as well, hopefully improve my door closing just a little bit.. Current ones are pretty shot.

Had a brilliant weekend out on the Salisbury Plains! The 110 did brilliantly with zero faults bar a cracked headlight, that I JUST fitted!
Not many other breakages either, a Disco blew a diff and the other Disco blew the HG on the way home but thats it.
Very deep water (same as above) so we attached a safety line to my 110 just in case, it was needed.
No smoke no poke!
Bit of popcorn

Flushed the chassis by jamming the hose in any hole it would fit and running it till clear water came out. I think most of the muck out...
Also gave it a quick wax, using some "Waterless wax spray" works well, easy to apply and gives a good shine.
Also Rain-Xd all the glass!

Todays magic! Fitted and adjusted X-Trouser
Look it closes!!
Same cant be said for the pass side it closes but needs considerably more force. Adjusted it 6 ways from Sunday and still the same...
Also found this
Looks repairable though, welding mate said he could do it if needed
