Maybe it is just me BUT, if I hit hard enough to damage the tub to the point it needs to be replaced, the cage is going to need to be cut out of the old tub, damage done in the crash repaired, and welded into the new tub, I am going to have doubts about the integrity of that cage. Again it may just be me but I would rather invest in a new cage that meets the current specs and I know is sound than one that is chopped, bobbed, and cobbled back together.
