can i have a higher roll bar?
after watching the video of my poor attempt of a trackday a couple of weeks back it does appear my head when wearing a helmet is a good 3-4"
above the roll bar, making it about as much use as a chocolate tea pot!
anyone know if MK can make me one a few inches taller? also while i'm at it would they be able to make me one a bit more substatial? just see a
bit of a problem as the car is all built etc so i'd have to be working around panels to fit anything.
your input welcome as ever

The front part is welded to the bottom box section. Maybe they could use your origional roll bar and then just weld in the top, giving you more
height?

Shortie's car has a cage that was made a few inches higher as he's a tall guy..

Baz at MK sportscars will fit you a full race cage in for about £300,I saw one he had done the other week,he just cuts off your existing hoop,and
welds in a full cage,the rear tub does not require removing,but the boot top panel will require some reshaping.

thanks paul, doesn't sound too bad of a job to have done then and the price is a fair bit less than i expected! shall do some sums and get it
sorted over the winter months.

Just a thought but you could lower your seat a bit. This would also lower the cars C of G.
