Well, ive gotten itchy to drive the vert in a track however, they wont allow it because our stupid cars dont have a roll bar.

Has anyone seen a vert with a rollbar, or a picture. I cant find any.

I was hoping to create something that can be removable, by removing the seats in the rear, and bolting a bar, and viceversa.

I dont mind fabricating. but it would be nice to see something...

I have thrown that thought around for a couple years. Ill try to dig up old pictures of my mock up I wanted to do.

well, i have found a universal bar. I dont mind the welding part. I still want the car to have the option to put the seat back in the case i need passngers. LOL..

im ordering the roll bar set up.... and will go from there...

wich is actually nice price... not sure if it would work

nvm, that setup is not going to work.

at that price, and from a different medel year, not sure..

Tough. Ya custom work I guess.

you looked into the miata or s2000 ones? maybe they will be easier to custom fit.

http://www.bethania-garage.com/default.htm maybe they can make you one?

nah, i can weld.. so ill do it myself.

I did order this kit

http://www.jegs.com/i/Jegster/550/947003K/...658#moreDetails

its for another car, i know, but its metal, and it can be cut and welded.

If it works out could you let know how you did it? Defiantly interested in getting it done, might bite the bullet and try it myself

i did order the jegs hoop for the nova/ventura. 1 3/4 with 0.134 mild steel wall.

however its 6 to 7 inches wider than i need.

The plans is to have this.. a removable bar..





found on this website.. http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/roll-cen...e-diag-vt56944/

Unfortunately wont let you ride a convertible with no kind of bar..

Back to the bar itself, i have to shorten the main hoop by 6 inches or so, but i dont want to just weld the bar, and my research has found the

safety plug, safety slug, whatever you call it.

Basically



which is basically a way to repair bent hoops, and still have safety.

problem is that they only have for 0.120 wall and not 0.134 wall. I have messaged them, to see what they think.

removing the bar when i want to reinsert the seats...

The kit so far is only 200 bucks. Its only to meet a requirement, that we all know a vert that rolls is no bueno, regarding anything you may or may not have.

>>>>So please no lessons, here. Any roll bar in a convertible is not safe, period. Even roll cage not safe, its a convertible.>> >>

Just want to take the 2GR few laps a year on the track for fun.

so ill keep posted, or if you know of a plug for a 1 3/4 bar with 0.134 wall, let me know.
