Default Autopower roll cage

I was wondering where you would find the part number on it?

If you check at either IOPort or Autopower you'll find your answer:
http://www.ioportracing.com/
http://www.autopowerindustries.com/applicationlist.asp

No idea why you came to HT with almost no information to ask when a 2 second Google search would've had your answer.

Edit: After re-reading the wording in your first post, are you looking ON an existing rollbar for a part number? To my knowledge they don't stamp it or anything, so you'd have to go on the word of the previous owner.

Yea, my bad. The cage is already installed in a 92 hb. The thing is the owner said it was t for it, but it fits in the civic. It doesn't look like a autopower one because the rear legs don't mount over the rear wheel well, but somewhere in the trunk area

Pictures would help a lot, but that sounds like a Kirk rollbar. The feet going to the trunk, do they have only 3 bolt holes each?

I'll have to check on that, I'm at woRk on the iphone. Bit the pics he sent me wasn't all that great either way. But from searching I've seen that kirks
and autopower are food after a built one. How much do they usually run for? It's a 4poiny with harness bar. It's red if it helps any. But I'll try to get some pics up when I get off.

Only buy whats designed for your car and dont try and make one fit that isn't.

Uh...what?

You can find new pricing on either of the links I posted above. Used prices are usually lower than that, and range wildly from $100 for a great deal to $300 for a less great deal.

The color doesn't help, as people paint bars all the time.

That is not Kirk or Autopower, and from that one crummy pic I'd say overall is a garbage design. Walk away and keep looking.

At one time one of those companies was selling something like that.

Ryan@eibach had something like that in his old EG.

Gil, or his brother (circut hero guys) bought it and it was still in there.

I had one of the old Kirk bars at one point, but it was only one bend in the rear bars, not two, and they didn't go way up by the roof like that.

Either way, I don't like it, and neither did Kirk (they stopped making it; originally it was made to allow for the rear seats to remain).

A fabrication joint can make you one. Just get the metal thickness, figure out the size (Y"xZ") and have them drill holes to match the footplate. If you have a drill press (or hell, are skilled with a hand-drill) you can do this yourself too, if you find a piece that will be big enough. It seriously is a flat piece of metal with four holes in it.

Also, that new bar really needs a cross (diagonal) and harness bar

Ah, I couldn't see that pic before. A local race shop should be able to add that in for not much money. Just make sure you get the right size/type tubing (DOM, tubing to match whatever the main hoop is made of, in diameter and wall-thickness).
