As some of you may already be aware of, the standard roll bar isn't tall enough for someone of my height (6'6"), this was confirmed yesterday when sitting in Handy Andy's part finished car, with the seats I am looking to get. So I have decided to get a full roll cage with side impact protection installed mid April/start of May, because of this, I no longer need the standard roll bar.
The roll bar is one of Ash's, and is made from 50mm OD, CDS tubing.
The roll bar has been fettled down to ensure it is entirely level when sitting on the chassis, it has also been tacked to the roll bar mounting plates. The mounting plates have 10mm (instead of the book sized 8mm holes), and have also been drilled out to allow the roll bar to be recessed into them, thus giving the joint a lot more strength, as it can now be welded from both sides.
I'm really just looking to get back what I paid for the roll bar which is £41.60. Collection is preferred and I will be going to Stonesleigh this year so I can bring it to the show (It is now just 10 weeks away, so not long to wait). I have the following picture of the roll bar before I drilled out the holes to allow the roll bar to be recessed:
