I'm far less worried about the money side, I just don't know if I believe a bolt in cage is actually safe and sturdy...
So - does that white paper say bolt in = safe or is a bolt in basically as good as a Harness Bar? My concerns of course are the fact that it's just bolted in, and what if the bolts shear at one of the mounting points, then you've got a boat load of metal possibly moving around and causing more harm than good - or maybe in just overthinking it and a bolt in is fine and better than nothing at all?

In my sig there's a link to the BK install, i believe i linked to the white paper there
The paper discusses stock belts vs harness bar specifically relating to the 'in a rollover you can't move out of the way of the roof and the roof with be crushed if you use a harness bar' topic which is so popular
I would definitely run the bk bar until you have a full cage.
