Lotus 340R
Hey i was looking at the 340 the other day and noticed what a great roll bar it has, what does every one else think and do you think it could be put
onto a locost?

Cant see any reason why not, other than it looks a little less simple to make! If you can design it to take the sides all the way down to the lower
rails in front of the rear suspension then I imagine it'll be a hell of a lot stronger than book too.
Interesting fact about the 340R, well not really but makes you think twice about the aero engineers at Louts. Apparently the 'wings' in
front of the front wheels were an after thought. They were added after the car flipped over during wind tunnel testing at 70mph!!! Incredible peice of
aerodynamics and weight distribution!

The roll bar does look good, but it's not very light. Sufficiently heavy in fact that some people have taken them out and replaced them with
tubular ones.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Guys,
Just a small point here in defence of Ned.
Yes Pete, fully agree google is wonderful. I use it all the time..
However in this case where someone is asking for opinions it would nice to show the image or give a link...
Otherwise I agree 100% about finding stuff yourself.
Just my view, not trying to be awkward...
