A mate did these, a few more to come but I thought I'd share.

I love your roll bar.

If you are going to have one it makes sense you'll have one that serves the purpose of protecting you, plus a tall roll bar makes it safer on the streets where you are driving without a helmet.





I drive therefore I am.

Yeh Texan that was my main concern to ensure I felt safe (that really does mean me!) not into the sheep thing on how a roll bar looks, far more important is that it'll stop me scraping my loaf.

So a string was attached to the top of my vernier cam (when I had a pinto) then I put in my seat cross members, then the adjustable seat rails, then my comfy seats, I then all of my 6'5" sat in, then put on my helmet and then added on 2" for harness strap slackness and that's where the line ended up.

I've seen many cars over the years where the driver was actually higher than the roll bar, often these roll bars are manufactured for racing where the manufacturer expects plastic bucket seats to be bolted to the floor which in that install would be ok if the driver was kind of average height, once you go away from those boundaries then it may not do its job, but hey guys it'll still look great !

No thanks, I'll stick to my tall one and stay alive if you don't mind....

Cheers

Rich
