Cobra roll bar safety

[Double Venom]

"The Cobra bars as you may know will not conform to any modern roll bar class requirements.... ". (mickmate),

mickmate,
Sorry, but that is a pretty strong statement. ALL of my rollbars and a few others meet or exceed anything that SCCA, or NHRA requires. All are DOM material, at least 2" OD and are properly mounted!

However, I will say that most of the kit Cobras I have seen do NOT have valid roll bars, 3-point and especially the long 2-point bars! "Classic Roadsters is at least one company that lists the 3-point as "Cosmetic Only" but I have see numerous Cobra roll overs, especially at Run N Gun and not one of the bars failed! The only reason I can think of since CR's uses this disclaimer is just for that reason, but a lot of their roll bars ARE ERW steel and not DOM seamless.

Statements made here are World Wide and should be posted with care. At least that is the way I see it.

PS...Seatbelt mounting makes me cringe on these cars! Seatbelts bolted through fiberglass with even a large washer for support is a very serious BAD joke! (My other life - Retired: Chief Detective Accident Investigation Squad- Reconstruction of Fatal Accidents)
