Actually, the Wolfe Roll bar will fit within the rules. It's premade and fits rather well, though not as nicely as a custom made bar.
The Wolf bar is made to bolt through the floor, but it can certainly be welded to the frame with a couple pieces of steel in the right places.
I have a Wolfe in my car and it's welded to the frame at all 5 attachment points.
Good luck with your project.
If you're looking for a custom bar, MTK fabrication in Roselle does amazing work. I've seen a number of their installs and they are very unobtrusive. 908-241-1510
I think it was around $1700 for a painted 5 point bar with driver swing out, and all belt mounting points.

And that's the problem, which is why I said in post #2 "You'll need to get one custom made, since no one makes one that complies with the rules."
If you race at a track that turns a blind eye to the rules and assumes anything that resembles a rollbar is OK and you're OK with the ruse, then fab something out of black PVC and attach it with Velcro, because it won't cause as many problems as the other stuff if you get upside down.
Personally, I made my own and designed them to meet the rules and also be a quick install/remove, so they don't have to be a permanent addition.

Mine is 57# in .120 wall DOM mild steel, so as an estimate, I'd guess 45# in 4130 CM.
My racing friend here in AZ has started bugging me about building some bars for him, so I posted some pics here. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...t-combo-3.html

Tom, or I, will update this thread when we get some feedback. As Tom alluded to, it would require 10 solid buyers/orders to make it worth the effort...and the purchase price (as yet to be determined) would probably be required upfront as neither of us are small business owners with cash buring a hole in our pockets...just enthusiast who wish to help the community

Actually, we are getting together later this week to check out the installation process, as we are racing this weekend as well.
