Roll bar almost complete-pics inside
Roll bar 1
Roll Bar 2
Roll Bar 3
Bar is 1.75 x .120 DOM Tubing, All work done by Myself.
I still have to put on the padding and I plan to make a cover for the padding. Questions, comments welcome.

Looks good. but it looks like it kinked in the corner a bit. Next time try filling the tube with sand and caping it before you bend it. When its done you can cut the caps off and get the sand out.

You know you always learn something better or easier with each time. I would change a couple of things, but one thing thaat worked out perfectly was the arc in the main hoop. Rear-view is terrific.
