See if you can twist the arm of AshG on here as he has run 2-3 group buys for roll bars that are 50mm dia with 3mm wall. The biggest tube I can currently bend is 42mm dia with 3mm wall.

Default Roll bar material

Hi, When I built a sprint car for Pikes Peak I had John Wells bend up my bar using (at his suggestion) 43 mm dia., 3 mm wall thickness (aprox), Drawn over Mandrel (DOM). The governing body of the PPHCA deems this as a suitable substitute for chrome molly tubing and it is considerably cheaper. I can't comment on weight, it might be heavier.
