That looks very smart indeed :cool:

are you using 2 bolts to fix it to the bottom chassis rail ( at bottom of the back stays ) as I can,t quite see from the pics ?

Nice work , & the other pics look good of the car too :cool:

cheers

fixings
 
yes i read others where having problems so i used the normal 4 x 8mm fixings at each side at the top i have used 2 x 10mm fixings at each side at the bottom i ran the harness bosses through so i could weld top and bottom it is also fully tig welded (i am not take any chances lol)

rollbar
 
Hi there
I made the bar myself i had to lend a friends CNC pipe bender to roll the 50mm hoop luckily i saved the programme on the bender so he can knock them out as he wishes. without sounding arrogant i spent the time and the radius on the corner is spot on no kinks or ripples. if anyone is interested i could probably get you in contact with him i am sure he could knock some more out fairly cheaply
The rest is just 38 tube the bosses are tapped to 7/16 unf as per harness bolts or eyes.
Oh yeah the tube is all the correct type wall thickness etc
