ROLL BAR IN C-3
I WANT TO PUT A ROLL BAR IN MY 76 T-TOP. I'M THINKING OF A BOLT IN APPLICATION THAT WILL FIT UNDER THE T-TOP CROSS BAR WITH A LOWER BRACE THAT RUNS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THE REASON FOR THIS IS TO HAVE A MOUNTING POINT FOR A SHOLDER HARNESS AS PART OF A 5 POINT HOOK-UP. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS OR ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO PROCEED.

Re: ROLL BAR IN C-3 (Brettmc)
If all you want to do is use a 5 point harness check this out Shark Bar I I just put one in my '81 and I'm glad I did this instead of a roll bar, takes up much less room. See this I don't really race so why bother with a roll bar/cage, and I don't have the time or money to get into the 11's.

Re: ROLL BAR IN C-3 (SmokedTires)
Very slick setup! I was wanting to do something similar for my '78. Where did you find this? It looks like JEGS has them for $122 or so for a 4-point and $150 for an 8-point. I think the 8-point would be a bit overkill unless they could build the bars to swing out when you get in or out. I also need to find something that displays the requirements for how fast your car runs and the roll bar that is required. Anyone have any tips? Thanks.

Bryan mine is the 4pt from Jegs. Once the basic 4pt is in, it's not much to add on to once your speeds start requiring more ;) .
