I am going through the same thing right now. However, I am looking to install one to comply with SCCA Solo I. Here are links to my threads, which may help.

roll bars
The hoops are really just epoxyed in and do nothing as far as safety goes. If you want a roll bar(4,5, 0r 6 point) check out the websites of Wolfe, ECS, or Neverlift. They make kits for verts that either weld or bolt in.

To adequately protect the occupants, I may be wrong, but the roll-bar must be taller than the occupants head. Most of the roll-bars I've seen posted here look "really cool" but will only protect the leather upholstery.

I think I saw yours on the ESC site. I contacted them to design a remoable roll bar for me. BTW I believe that swing-outs have to be removed for HDPE events.
