Default roll bar

I just ordered a 4 point from East Coast Vettes. It is made by Pfadt and is powdercoated the color of your choice. I shopped around, and they seemed to have the best price. They have a good web site, with a lot of great products. I came across them about 2 months ago.

SW Racing also has roll bars, but they come disassembled and often not notched, and need a lot of fabrication. Since I didn't want to be welding in the car, I went with the Pfadt one which is a bolt in with welding optional (I will end up welding the base plates).

I suggest you contact Doug Rippie Motorsports...an excellent forum vendor with racing experience. Also, you might checkout Livermore Performance as well....they have a good selection of roll bars/cages for the Corvette.

If it's of any importance you might want to make sure whatever you get complies with NASA and/or SCCA regulations/specs.

Does anyone have any solutions for a rollbar for a CONVERTIBLE ????

This has been talked to death in may threads, but I have yet to see a definitive answer.
