Classic Revival Roll Bar

Mike, considering what SOME charge for hoops, your prices sound more than fair. Nice work.

Got the new roll bars in! I've decided to delete the seat belt mount frame and run the roll bars right down to the chassis cross member. I reckon this will be a much stronger setup than having the inside leg mount to the seat belt frame.

I'm still working on the heights of the bars to get them looking right. I've also got to make the back stays.

I do prefer the single hoop behind the driver style but some times you've got to think about passenger safety over style concerns. Especially since it'll be my wife or daughter in there.



Here's one of the new chassis mounts. I've still got to tack it in place. I'll do the final welding on it once I pull the body again to paint under the floor.




The seat belts will be on a frame bolted to the roll bars inside the boot. I figure it'll be stronger than the sheet metal frame that they were originally attached to to.

Cheers

I pulled the body on the weekend. I've got a bunch of fiberglass work to do on the underside and I want to paint the engine bay.

While I've got the body off it's a good oportunity to finish off the frame mods for the new roll bar setup. I've run the roll bars down to the chassis rather than the seat belt frame in the boot. I reckon this is a lot more secure way to mount them.





Cheers
