    mk2 escort turret mounted cage in a 4 door! HEEEEEELP!!!

    Hi all havnt posted on here for years as forgot my password lol, in the last 2 years ive bought a 4 door mk2 all fab work is almost complete and ive come to fitting the cage 14 point turret mounted. As the car has had 2 front floor pans the drivers one is a little tall and the divers front leg is high and tight im yet to modify that problem, the other problem which is a big concern is the rear stays going to the turret is tight to the turret and the tub, ive not et bolted the main hoop in but im pretty sure its ment to be ''floating?'' .
    If anyones got any help advice and pictures that would be great as im on day 5 of cage hell and pulling my hair out!!! lol

    Cheers

    Loose, its obviously jammed hard against the turret without bolting it up. Some pics would help.

    as in when the main hoop and front feet are bolted down the back stays going to the turret loook as if they are floatting as in not toucthing the tub or the turret ready for the bracket to be assembled to it
