[Roadsters] Rollbar and Ragtop: Can I have it all?

 Would like to see your brake light set-up. Good idea for a little car, i think.

I agree. I spent many hours trying to figure out a roll bar that would
provide protection and still fit under the soft top. If it doesn't connect
to the frame, forget it. Solve that problem then move on to head clearance.
Two inches sound good. The only solution to that problem is recline the seat
(given your current height) so you have the two inches. If you don't have a
5-point harness system all of the above is a mute point. Ask Dale E. He had
the best equipment available and he's still dead. 

I built a roll bar that is connected to the frame, clears the soft and hard
top, provides 2.0" of clearance for my 6.0' body, has a 6 point harness and
has a brake light attached. I still drive the car as if it doesn't have a
roll bar. Remember Murphy's law.
