Roll bar
How have people secured their roll bar to their chassis, as i have concerns as to what would be strong enough if the worst was to happen? I have rear
stays with studs already in them.

I used 17mm headed bolts
and stick rubber caps on the heads
very stiff and looks good.

roll bar
Regarding fixings for roll bar, i went to my local karting track shop and purchased
some seat mounting bolts which are countersunk allen bolts and countersunk anodised ali washers( loads of coloured finishes to choose from) 4 for
each mounting. I also using these for fixing front wings.

I doubt if Mr. SVA will pass those anodised AL bolts for anchoring your roll-over bar. They won't be anywhere strong enough.
Please don't use them for that!

The actual bolts are 10mm high tensile steel its only the washers that are aluminium. A friend had his MK sva passed last year using same
bolts.

Hi, I've welded mine,much neater ,stronger and no worries about bolts .
Turn the mig right up though if you fix in this way,plenty of penetration is a must!
Yes I'm still talking about the roll bar!
