I am getting ready to start fabbing up a rollbar along with a built-in harness bar for my EF hatch. I need lots of pictures of mounting plates & points, weld locations, bends, joints, etc. Measurements or suggestions would be helpful as well. I know this may belong in A/C but I thought i could get some help from my fellow EF'ers who have done this.

Bump, i am also interested in this. Any designs that you can keep your interior in would be great also!

Psshh... fu<U></U>ck that. Lol. But yes, I found some pix, hold on.

 

 

Does anyone know if rollbars are legal in ca.

 

Legality? ****, didn't think about that. Roll bars legal in VA?

 

So far ive read its perfectly legal aslong as theres padding on it, however an insurance company may have a problem with it's safety....

 

insurance companys and emmisions locations will throw a fit guys, good luck, plus roll bars add too much weight

Emissions? This is VA man... no E-test.

They may add like 120-150 lbs, but when coupled with a harness, i'll take the increased safety over a tenth of a second any day.

I had my roll cage done by dtr ...sorry I don't have pics but his site shows pics of his work.

 

Have you put your cage in yet? I would suggest you attach the rear legs to the shock towers in the rear and eliminate additional strut tower bar. It will make the car a lot stiffer. The safety that a cage adds over the weight....I'll take it anyday of the week for a track car.

I just finished my 8-point cage in my ed hatch. Let me know if you want to check it out. I am in 757 too.</FONT>
