Looking for Roll Bar build sheet
 
I know I saw (I think it was DV who posted it) the dimensions (bend angles/measurements) to build a single person roll bar.

Could someone post it here or email it to me?
Thanks

I have the build specs for the roll bar. PM me your email and I will send it to you. For some reason, I can't seem to be able to post the pic on here.

Thanks

most are 1.5" tube, 6" radius bend. Can't help you with exact height.

Question--some bard are about the height of the windshield and some are several inches higher. I heard the reason was racing requirements for the taller one...any comment
thks

Not that any of them would pass muster for a modern roll bar, but the rule is straight line from the top of the bar to the fwd chassis hard point clear the driver helmet by 2". This tends to look a little goofy on a cobra, but needed if you want actual roll over protection. I have a replaceable street bar that does not meet that requirement but my race cage does.

If someone has driver and passenger Classic Roadster roll bars they have not yet been mounted on their car, would someone be willing to make a pattern and trace a front view and side profile on cardboard for me?thanks

I got this from somebody and it's supposed to be for the Classic Roadster...

Perhaps if there is enough interest, we could contact a rollbar manufuture to build a couple for us (a "Group Buy").

P.S. I have a pdf of this where it's a little larger.

I had my roll bar made from that sketch by a company in Hilliard, OH. It turned out really well.

Here's the website for the shop that made it.
Tubular Techniques

@SGR do you recall roughly how much they were to build? Both sides or just the driver side? How long ago?

rbgray1 10-12-2016 08:31 AM

The original CRs were made with 1.75 tubing. That's what mine is.

It cost $217 including Ohio sales tax. That doesn't include any plating or finishing on the roll bar (just the raw materials, the labor to bend and weld it ). I used 2"x0.120" DOM tubing for mine.

Wisconsin_Snake 10-14-2016 09:13 AM

SGR I am taking it that you had to weld the "fish mouth" to the main hope yourself, correct?

NorcalLmo 10-14-2016 10:15 AM

SGR PLEASE post pics of the roll-bar!!!!
 
SGR - if you can please post pics of your roll bar - if not able to post please send pics to my e-mail: LDMOORE@comcast.net
HUGE THANKS in advance:cool:

Wisconsin_Snake 10-14-2016 11:38 AM

FYI... I contacted Tubular Techniques to get pricing and was told that pricing would drop on multiples. Still waiting for teh quote on a single and multiples.

studebaker53, if you notice in the plans it appears that the "fish mouth" was not welded on. This would allow you to switch sides and weld it on where you wanted it.

So let's see about doing a "group buy" on this to drive the price down...

Who's interested?

NorcalLmo 10-14-2016 01:49 PM

**Group Purchase**
 
I'm IN!!!!!! I would also like a passenger roll-bar made - even if I don't install it - it would be a nice option to have for the future! I'm in - Please keep me posted - 916-677-6621 / LDMOORE@comcast.net:cool:

Roll bar update:
 
just got a reply from Tubular Techniques - $367.00 shipped to my address in Sacramento, CA - This was through an email to their site - Steve responded with the quote - This was before I saw a possible 'discount' price if we had a few more orders....I'll be 'pulling the trigger' on my order, but will hold off if we can get some momentum/commitment on more units:cool:

I get a quote from Tubular Techniques also, $368.16 shipped, additional ones $265 (Not sure if that included shipping).
So there appears to be a ~$100 tooling setup fee.
The more people we can commit, we could split that tooling fee driving the price down.

NorcalLmo 10-18-2016 01:44 PM

Whoop Whoop Whoop!
 
I'm in for one driver's side - (*considering a passenger side ) Let's get some commitments going!!!!:cool:

studebaker53 10-18-2016 04:50 PM

I'm in for both a driver and passenger side. I will be contacting Steve at Tubular Techniques tomorrow.
