Can a passenger roll-bar be added?
 
Is it possible to add a passenger roll-bar to and existing (i.e. used) SPF Cobra? Does SPF sell the parts? How hard is it to install (if possible)?

It can definitely be done, but it may cost a few bucks.

Here's a thread with some details. Bob indicated that it cost $1,300 for the roll bar and installation.

As I remember, the mounting bracket(s) required for a passenger side bar (hoop) are not installed at the factory on all chassis. On newer chassis I believe the brackets were standard on the frame, but where the break on chassis # is I don't know. Any bar that you need to add new brackets for will not be as strong as the one with factory installed brackets due to the welding procedure. There is a tech paper on how to add a second bar but no mention of chassis #'s. But this project is not for the faint of heart. There is always the full width bar option too. Olthoff sells them. And a taller drivers side bar also available from Olthoff. I have his taller bar on mine.

Hillbank Superformance in Irving can all one for you. Most likely they will have to order the bar (takes a few weeks to get from Africa). One day to install. Barry Bloch can give you the full details there. Phone him at 949-900-1954:)

Dual Roll Bars Are Cooler, and more Versatile, than Anything Else in the World

Matt, you can do almost anything with these cars. Pencil-in two grand or less for a passenger side roll bar. You know, I've noticed in the last two years a distinct increase in the preference for dual roll bars in these cars.:cool: And what's nice, you can always just unbolt one, or both, and pull them out and fit the holes with a rubber grommet plug -- then put them back in, pull them back out, all to suit your mood. You could even have custom hole-plugs fabbed that will match the body and stripe colors. Take it from me, dual roll bars are where it's at.;)

Thx for the tip, Ed

The bars can be installed by a capable shop familiar with SPFs -- we are doing a passenger side roll bar now on a Factory Five. --

How much it is depends on many factors. Time, detail, skill, difficulty, availability of parts, vs making them, -- etc.
