Cant help you, although it already has one and is strong enough.

Safety Devices make one (also fits the 140). Available through Amazon Cars.
Other than that you'll probably have to get a custom made one.

What sort of cage do you need? Certified for racing?

A banger racer usually wouldn't be wanting to spend that much money on a proper roll cage, they would just chop out sections of the roof etc until they can get the pipework to fit.

Any photos/more info about this track 240?

I recommend a company called custom cages. Look in demon tweaks. My experience of safety devices cages is not good. My mate bought a very expensive weld In one, for a mk2 escort. Which I fitted. I would definitely not recommend them to anyone. Some bars where too short, or cut completely the wrong angle. It was a complete nightmare to fit. Had everything slotted together the way it should, it would have been done in a day easily. Instead it took 2 and half days to finish.
I have no experience with there bolt in ones. Should be better I suppose!
Where as my experience with custom cages is very good. They are also certified for competition. But I have no idea if they make a one for 240's, but it's worth a look.

Bolt in SD ones have been fine in my experience.

Custom Cages or Caged both have good reputations too.
