Unfortunately I can't remember who makes it, I may still have the receipt. It was installed by Caravaggio Corvettes in Toronto.

With the ends making a turn just before they meet the frame rails, I'd say that is a Doug Rippie piece.

Here are a couple of pictures of the R-DRacing S/T Roll Bar in my 91. I have brackets on the rear braces so I can store my targa top in the back.

johnwayne,

Here are a couple of pictures of the Autopower roll bar I have in my 85. You would not be able to store the roof panel in the back in the stock holders with this rollbar. There have been past post from people that have roll bars in C4's that allow the roof panel to still be stored in the stock location if that matters to you.

Im curious as to where do the tubes get welded to the frame and if anybody has pics showing where the main hoop is welded to the frame.

I do not have photos of the mounting. But what I did was cut away the fiberglass behind the seats and in front of the rear speakers enough to expose the frame in those locations. Then plates are welded to the frame at those locations. Then the roll bar is either bolted to the plates or welded to the plates. If you are just going for a weld in only you could weld the roll bar directly to the frame in those same locations.
