Before you start the installation of your rollbar, you might want to consider the negative aspects of having a steel bar located just behind your head. While I am aware of the total lack of any support from the windshield in the event of a roll-over accident, (say goodnight Gracie) I would also consider the interaction of the rollbar and the back of your head in the event of a non roll-over type accident, which would be much more common occurance than a roll over. A simple minor rear end collision could prove quite devastating to the back of your head, and any side collision could also do the same damage to your noggin....At minimum, a good pad of some type would be a great idea on the bar...And we are not talking about the hot water pipe insulation foam that I have seen on a few peoples cars either....Check my gallary for an example. (Good design but not perfect)
Just some food for thought...I have a Superformance Rollbar Installation instruction guide if you need - for a passenger side installation, but good reading...send me a email address if you want a copy.
