Default Roll Bar

Hi everyone

Is anyone supplying a roll bar? I only need the main hoop, already got the plates and I'll cut/weld my own harness/rear stay tubes.

Thanks
Josh

I am planning on making my harness tube, rear stay tubes (and probably a cross-brace in the main hoop) from the same stuff as my local steel stockists can only supply in 6m lengths.

Should I go for 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 diameter? 18g, 16g or 14g wall thickness?

Thanks!

I spoke to a former SVA/IVA tester and he said he personally would like to see the seat belt mounts be able to lift the weight of the car.
His personal view,not that of VOSA !

Make them overly strong you wont go wrong.
