The best fitting 4 point roll bar you will ever find.

Fits the 2001 to current corvette C6
This roll bar is constructed of 1 3/4 X .120 WALL D.O.M.
This is the same material required buy SCCA for a full roll cage
Attachment method exceeds SCCA requirements for a bolt in roll cage

This 4 point roll bar is constructed and attached to the frame of the car exactly the same as if it was a full cage. This can be used as the back half of a full cage. Therefore there is no need to remove and replace it if you decide to go to the next level you can just add the front half.

BEWARE; there are similar looking kits on the market that don’t use the proper material and or use rive nuts to attach it to the car. A RIVENUT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A RIVIT WITH THREADS IN THE MIDDLE! They have there place but I don’t think any one would never consider riveting a roll cage in to a car that is just common sense.

This kit comes with the main hoop TIG welded. Cross bars, and diagonal all the laser cut mounting plates are also pre welded to the main hoop. The rear bars will arrive pre notched and fit. Included is all necessary grade 8 hardware and a full set of detailed instructions.

Comes painted with a readily available rustolium hammer tone black it is a textured charcoal grey that matches the interior panels well. Also included is a partial can of paint for any touch ups needed.

This kit can be installed in a weekend there is some welding required because the back bars can't be bolted because of the way it fits in the car. The welding can be done at any local welding shop in less than 1 hour the required welding is easily accessible from the rear hatch. The DOM material can be MIG welded. Although TIG is recommended for spark reasons.

Will this bar fit in a C5 FRC by any chance? If not, could you post some installed pics of your C5 bar for me if it will work in a FRC?

Thanks!

Looks good. How does the main hoop attach to the frame?

Thanks,
Charley

while the bar looks great, fitment against roof is awesome, many groups (NASA for instance) limits bends in the main hoop to 4. This bar has at least 5 bends that I can see. Just something to keep in mind. I think this is why Pfadts bar makes a point at the top, instead of the curve up/down/up of your design.


The main hoop
must consist of not more than four (4) bends maximum, totaling one hundred eighty
(180) degrees +/- ten (10) degrees.

It has 3 Grade 8 1/2" bolts throught the side frame and 3 3/8 bolts throught the floor exceeding the SCCA requirements

Again, will it fit a Fixed RooF Coupe?

How about posting the installation instructions so we can see what is involved?

I would be nice to have some pictures from the front thru the doors.

Thanks, just what I need!

This is only a 4 point roll bar

this is a pic of how it attaches to the main frame i contacted the scca and went over it all with the SCCA guys long before i ever thought about making it into a kit...including the bend arangements... when i was doing a full cage in my first z06

the 4 bend rule was made when cars were big squares and i am currently working on getting it re worded.. they are looking for safe ..the way the diagonal supporththe bends and makes a triangle above the drivers head only adds to the strength...most modern cars cant be done well in only 5 bends..and if you look at the track you will see this..i have done over 400 cages in the last 10 years never ever had the slightest issue with bends..

the attachment exceeds the SCCA requirements...all the plates are lazer cut..it uses 3 1/2 inch grade 8 bolts through the frame ..and 3 - 3/8 grade 8 bolts through the floor..catching the lip the floor attaches to ...the rear plates also use 3 -1/2 grade 8 bolts through the frame..2 down 1 across..i would never consider using a rive nut to hold a roll bar in..they are nothing more than a rivit with threads..

even though it is only a half cage at this point it can be added to and become a full cage at a later date...i will fit all of the zo 6 aluminum frame cars and could be welded or bolted into a steel frame car..

installation time is about 10 hours so in a weekend you can install it..unfortunatly a little welding is required because of the fit and how the car is shaped i couldnt make the back bars just bolt..any welding shop can do it in less than 1 hour once they are in place..welding is safer than bolts anyway..if you are going to install one..may as well be real...
this is a proto type but it goes in the same...


this ZR1 i added an x in the rear..you would have to have a shop do it..unless you are in the florida area...



you may recognise this one i have done a few 1 off



this is currently avalible exclusively through breathless performance..i am the manufacturer

racecarbuilders

i do a bunch of different cars and am not a vett specialist...if you are referring to this body style the answer is yes it would just be a pta to weld the back bars on but that is just the way it would be with any cage...i know i got to crawl in this one...

as for the instruction it is so new i havent made thm up just yet..but basically

remove front seats and trunk carpets....
bring the main hoop into the passenger side door stand up into position...
drill 3/8 holes through floor in pre drilled holes in the floor plates ..bolt down semi tight..
cut fiberglass near shocks to expose frame drill and bolt in rear plates.
put back bars in position
check clearances..rear hatch shocks can get really close..
with back bars tacked drill holes through the frame ..use nuts welded to plates on outside of frame
tighten all hardware down
and weld back bars on
touch up paint with suppied can trim carpets and renstall interior..

Can it work in a C6Z06 with the aluminum frame? Didn't I see that the rear two points have to be welded?

racecarbuilders

yes.. the aluminum frame zo6 is what it is made for. you will need to expose the frame near the shocks .. there is a lazer cut saddle that bolts through the frame next to the shocks .then the rear bars weld to the bolted plates ...uses all grade 8 hardware and would exceed the SCCA's requirements for a bolt in roll cage...and could be added to for a full cage..

unfortunately i couldnt make the rear bars just bolt on..because of the tight fit..i know for some people this will be a concern please dont let it be ..any welding shop can weld them on in less than 1 hour once the rest is installed..and welded is safer and stiffer than bolt on..

just a track day or racing stuff can happen ..this will offer protection it is made of the same matrial and is mounted the same as a full cage ..it is just the rear half..unlike some of the chassis stiffening bars ..out there that look like a 4 point cage..
