Default How Much Rollbar Padding?

My Autopower bar arrived and will be put in this week and I need to get some padding ordered. The padding comes in 36" pieces.

I don't want to overdo it - only want padding where I really need it. Would 2 pieces do it? 3 pieces?

I had 2 feet and it was *barely* enough... 2 pieces of 36" should be plenty.

Thanks guys. I think I'll order 2 pieces and see how it goes. Can always order another one if I need to.

Three pieces. Maybe I coulda gotten away with 2. I used some extra to make stops so the harness shoulder straps don't move to the side, and also used some to keep the seatbelt buckles from tapping the rollbar when they're not used.

Are you tall (6' or over?) You'll want 3 pieces I think, to cover where your head and passenger head could hit the bar (3' along the top, 1+ feet on the diagonal, 1.5 feet along each side). You'll have extra.

Don't forget to get the supersize zipties to hold the padding on. I used two of the largest ones I had around the ends, but having the real big ones woulda been nice.

I used three when I did mine, two on the main hoop and one on the crossbar. Make sure you get the SFI approved padding
