Shelby American installed driver only forward braced single hoop Cobra (leaf spring cars 1962 through 1965) roll bars were normally made of 0.093 wall 1.375 nominal outer diameter steel tube. The distance between the legs of the hoop measure out at 11.0 inches which makes tube center to tube center 12-3/8 inches. I know personally of only one Cobra that retains "the" assembly installed in it as new car. I have been hunting truly original equipment roll bars for decades. The owner of this car (sold new as a competition car) verified dimensions for me last year when he had the decades old paint job his car had replaced.
