Roll bar spec

[davidimurray]

I bought my roll hoop ready bent as part of AshG first group buy, from memory it was about £40 for the bent tube and then I bought a length of CDS for the cross bar and another length for the diagonals.

One other little thougt, if you mount the plates at the bottom of the tube, you can make the bolts hidden but still get a spanner on the bolt from underneath. See photo 1 and 2 in this gallery http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150244028550325.366987.601005324&l=583fd5 cd3a&type=1

Deanno,

I like your idea of having the strut from the rear suspension mount box to the top of the rear tub bar thing. I've just stuck a bit of tape on my chassis to remind be to put two in.

David,

agree with moving the two verticals out so they are then under the roll bar rear struts, I will be doing this too.

Thanks for the tips and nice photo galleries, both of you. I will be having a good look at them.

i've set up a blog on wordpress the same as leroy brown but i've yet to update it well to be honest i've yet to start it
well in 3 weeks when my little man finally meets his mummy and daddy i'll have plenty of time in the house so i'm trying to do as much as i can before he arrives.

If anybody is interested in a MSA compliant cage with side and rear impact protection specifically built for the Roadster let me know as we are currently talking to a local maker of cages to fit one to the Teamtrain/Saturn race car currently running in Northern Spotrs and Saloon series.

Wont be cheap but will be the dogs bits and first time fit.

Hi Deanno,

The roll bar looks good, I am planning on doing the same thing but with 50 x 50 mm box steel tube. Is there any chance you can give me the dimensions you used for the 5 main pieces?

Regards

John

Dean
