No, but why not just copying it, instead of buying. It would be much cheaper this way.

I've installed one. Cusco cages are made out of chromoly in case no one knows.

Things I didn't like:
It's bolted in
No harness bar
No door bars
Rear support bars attach wierd (for lack of a better word)
The cage had a little bit of a tough time fitting around a LHD dash, RHD might be more easy

Things I liked:
It's cusco blue
It's a cusco
No welding required

Overall I think I would prefer a tig welded cage catering to all my own specs. Just my opinion.

I've never seen or heard of an aluminum cage for the 86 by cusco. Are you sure?

They have chromoly and steel listed on their site.

I wouldnt risk my life on a roll cage that is bolted in, those japanese syle bolt in cages are utter crap in my opinion, they usually bend around the dash, are full of additional bends and put together with a scissor joint... crap crap...... save up your money and get a professionally welded in cage that uses proper matreials, correct radius bends, and that fits tight to the pillers as possible
