Lakester,

Yeah, the legs of the MGB front bar are too short.

It doesn't take much to fabricate brackets for a roll bar. I've had three different ones on the front and two on the rear. I am currently running a 1" early Mustang bar on the front and a 3/4" Mercedes (front) bar in the rear. It's kinda fun walking around Pick-a-Part with a tape measure looking for roll bars. And they're CHEAP! I have plenty of extras, too, if I want to change the handling to match a different set of tires.

For the Mustang bar, I drilled a hole in each lower spring plate and used a standard threaded shaft with polyurathane (sp) grommets from a speed shop. I mounted the front brackets under the nose on the cross beam. Works great!
