Just a thought don't forget to block of the ends of the fan housing or she will run hot. Sorry can't help with the cage.

Well that depends as some are different to others. Do you have an existing cage you are trying to mount or are you wanting to make one up.
For the bottom bolting points some go back and bolt to your torsion housing and you gearbox forks, some just bolt from the ends of the gear box forks.
Then they usually (not always) bolt back to you shock towers or to an existing point on your rollbar cage.
