Default Roll Bar?

Has anyone put a roll bar in a 96 convertible? I would like to run my car at the Maxton mile but a roll bar is required.

I had one put in my coupe. Had a local fabricator build one that I'm very happy with.
If you are in the Atlanta area check out genesis one automotive - great guy.

There are many old threads, but here is one to start you off..
Make sure you get one that is exactly for what you need. all racing is different specs of bars.

I put one in my '86, and it should be almost identical. It's actually easier to do in a roadster than a coupe, but you have to cut more pieces (tonneau cover and rear wheel wells). I got mine from Autopower in San Diego.

If you're handy, all you need is someone who can weld and RotoZip to cut the openings and you're in business! Making it neat and clean with the carpet is the hard part really.

Good luck!
