From my experience building off road cages I was instructed that it is unsafe to build a cage and attache the seats to the car itself. The reason being if you were in a serious crash the cage could actually hurt you worse than not having one providing the body was shifted. I noticed that all the pictures I have seen in the link above the seats were not mounted on a loop from the cage. It may not completely apply for a reason I am unaware of in this case, However If I was to build a cage for mine I would attempt to mount the seats to the cage itself. Am I correct that the seat(s) should be mounted to the cage or am I over looking something that is obvious?
