I have the same set up as Richard and I'm running 2 roll bars (in 1 3/4" DOM) for the same reasons as he is. Instructors require them these days on most track days, and also my wife will appreciate the sentiment.

However, finding someone to bend the proper radius in 1 3/4" pipe and in the proper leg length was an experience (the Cobra Restorers units are too short for CSX style cars). I finally found a guy in Texas who did it for me and shipped all the pieces up for me to assemble.

Richard, hope to see some pictures of yours when it is done and on the road. I'm moving kind of slowly on mine so it will probably be a year or so until it seems fresh pavement. Roger didn't have the rollers available when I bought mine from him.

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

Bob
