Hi All,
Its about time this thread gathered momentum,
I believe it a topic that needs to be judged by the cobra community.
Even though Im looking down the barrel of some modifications myself,
I am not opposed to some new safety measures being implemented,
its just the details that may need some fine tuning..
The Harness inclusion is a good idea,
something that is well overdue for my car anyway.
And is an item that can be fitted to most cars without detracting from the look or function of the car,except not legal for street use which I cant understand either...
The rollbar issue definatly opens a can of worms,
especially with the older generations of kits where cosmetic rollbars were the standard,and mods wont be easy or cheap..
Maybe a set of guidelines could be worked out for each type of kit,
Harrison Front mounts deemed ok when used with rear stay,
Drb mounts would definatly need work but guidelines formulated .
Etc,
for each type of kit would take guesswork out of turning up at scruiteneering on the friday at least..
The 50 mm height is probably a little lenient ,
as some rollbar regulations are a line drawn from top of bar to front guard or upper suspension mount being a no go zone for the helmet..
As somone else mentioned,
Think laterally and lower the seat ,
not raise the bar....
Theres always Street Class,
the T/As are nice and hard now....
Peter...
