Might be just me, but I thought you use a welder??? I don't know of anyone usings "mounts" of any kind to tie the cage into the frame.
Most pre made cages come with steel paltes to weld and bolt to the floor. If yo uare maming it yourself, use some flat steel plate and weld he cage to it, then weld it to the floor or whatever mouting surface you have.

I would use a body mount puck and bolt set up between the floor plate and the frame outrigger.
The body and the frame flex and move independently. Most Rock buggies don't care if their ride is rough. Others running down the road need that little bit of give and flex.

I had thought about valve springs over each bolt for a little give but after that I decided when my 'cage goes in it will go right to the frame. I thought about bolts shearing and any other thing that could go wrong. Fawk the ride I would rather be safe.
My buddy in the pic was WAY more bummed out than I about this.

I used the stock body pucks. Yes, I paid too much for them, but the dealer threw some Gojo in there while they screwed me.
