I think you would be better off finding a custom fabricator, much easier in the long run.

Re: ROLL BAR FOR A VERT (vettewrench)
Doug Rippie Motorsports makes one.
And AutoPower makes one.
I-O Port has a website and carries the "Autopower" model at: http://www.ioportracing.com/ look under saftey equipment, they have a part# for 1986-1996 Corvette roadsters.
They DO NOT meet NCCC saftey requirements as sold, but can be modified to do so. (cost around $300)
I am also considering one in my Vert. But I would add a forward brace, and make it removeable for normal driving (just the brace) this way you would retain full use of the convertible top and also meet NCCC saftey requirements for High-speed events.
Anybody have any more input?

Kit bars are junk. Have one custom made and legal for your type of racing.

I like your car. :D
Exotic Muscle sells a nice convertible bar.
My dad and I built one for his car because he wanted one that fit under the factory hard top as well. A friend of ours has a Doug Rippie bar and we just got the installation point dimensions from his and then built our own.
:cheers:

Re: ROLL BAR FOR A VERT (vettewrench)
I got my autopower roll bar from Exotic Muscle. I can't say I've tested it in a rollover yet, :eek: but it installed fine and did not require any cutting of the deck lid.
