My experience with a larger roll bar is that the car tends to get crazy ove=
r bumps, pavement expansion joints and the like. I have a 7/8 bar on the sh=
elf (memento of things gone awry previously) and I could not use it even on=
 my V8 car.=20

Mike,

The original bar on my 100 was also 1/2" but I'm installing a 7/8" one. AH =
Spares has them at 5/8", 3/4" and 7/8". And they have polyurethane bushings=
.

Regards,

Charlie Schott
