Does anyone out there have knowledge of someone producing a roll bar that fits under the convertible top that is NOT a show bar. I would like to do some drag strip time and I will need a hoop due to

While I am not positive, I am pretty sure the "Show" designation came from the lawyers in about the early '90's. Before that the same bar was sold as a Roll bar and I have heard that they do hold up

Dale A's roll bar is what you need. He adds a forward bend just above the braces that puts the top forward where there is more clearance. I think to be legal you need 2" between the top of your helm

Does that do the trick, Bob? With a helmet on, my head is about 2" *above* my autopower bar. Chris

I have an Autopower bar that I bought earlier this year with the cross brace and shoulder harness bar. Since it was not tall enough to reach 2" above my helmet, I had a new one fabricated and welded

Welcome to the "Wonderful World of Litigation". Due to the liability a manufacturer would face, even with the best design, many refuse to state that these are "roll bars". This might imply suitabili

I think to get the required 2" clearance, people have been suggesting that you look to lowering the seat rather than going to the trouble of raising the bar and then not being able to use the soft to

I think they are called show bars are that in fact *it* would hold up to a roll-over, but you would need a casket 2-6 inches shorter than you would if you had "moved to the next level" in a different

Chris, just using your reply to throw my 2 cents into the thread.. Well, if the roll bar is pretty much for the car in normal daily driving, and not SCCA competetion, then I would hazard a guess that

I wonder if it would be possible to put your stock seat frame in with removable (pip) pins and build a lower replaceable competition seat which would give you more headroom? Just a thought. Bob H the

I echo Bob Hokanson's suggestion of using a low riding seat for competition. I don't think Dale's roll bar adds more than about another 2" to the height of the standard Auto Power bar. That still le

I have, or should say, had a "show bar" installed for safety reasons. It was just the right height to obscure the view from my rear view mirror. After a while, I got tired of looking at my bar in the

Hi Tim, The bar I built is about the tallest you can fit under the soft top (it pushes the top out about 1/8" on both sides at the top corners), so I could get you some measurements if that will help

While everyone has their own requirements to feel safe I would think that a "show bar" would likely be acceptable security in most rollovers (assuming normal driving speeds). More important than the

My theory is drive twice as fast so you do a full 360 degree roll. Happy New Year to all!! Bob
