Roll Bar For A Car Without Soft Top

[karture]

Guys,


I was looking at different roll bars. And I noticed I couldn't find a type of rollbar that is folle extended to the rear strut towers. I guess this is mostly done because of people still want to use there sofftop. I don't have softtop and only using a hardtop. For structural integrity I would love to have a rollbar that extends to the rear strut towers. Is there something like this on the market? Welding or bolting doesn't really matter for me.


Thanks, J

Don’t think there is. Might be worth asking the guys who do circuit racing.

the msa have rules about the angle of the rear-braces (quite a steep angle) so most comercially available offerings will be the same (ish)

US rules & regs are diferent & a bit more open.

as example....

and their assembly pdf

page 6 has photo's illustrating the weld-in mount positions.

The MSA rules just say what the minimum angle can be, which is 30 degrees. No maximum is stated, so my Roll Cage attaches to the area by the strut tops

Thanks for the reply guys. What I was forgetting where the tubes/hoses for the feul system are there sitting quit prarrie canoety for the left rear leg. What I would love is half of the customcages cage. That would be wonderfull. I'm going to see if I can find somebody making this or making it myself.
