427 SC Roll Bar Height???

[Cracker]

Can anyone provide me the correct height of the 180 bend/middle down to the the top of the body/cowl? Thank you!

[G.R.]

Aprox between 12-14 inches from the body to the underside of the bend. My Spf was about 12, when I installed my bar on my 289 I used 14 because most track events require a min. of 3" between the rollbar and your head/helmet, and for me that gave me the clearance.
Hope this helps

OK Cracker, I'll bite......

Unlike your present roll bar, which is probably 3" lower than the top of your head, I would recommend it be at a minimum 3" taller than the top of your melon

For those of us in the range of 6'2" and above, I would think you want the roll-bar to be "functional"


I know, this is not what you wanted to hear, but I could not resist......

Thanks GR & BigEasy! BE - yes, I do want to continue to be your neighbor & friend and since some "work" is now being done on the car it was the right time to address the inadequate roll bar height. When I told GeorgiaSnake what I was planning to do he said "it's going to look like your driving with a telephone pole sticking out of your car!" - I can't win! Some are fat, some are tall - thankfully I'm not both!

Cracker - soon to be TP - in your case somehwere in the 44" to 46" range should work.
