I was wondering if anyone has used one the commonly available "Not a
real Rollbar for liability reasons" rollbars from VB, TRF, etc that are
listed for Spitfires in a GT6+??? I have my GT6+ tub stripped down and am
in the seemingly never ending process of sanding it, priming, sanding,
priming, and would like to do any hole drilling, welding to the underside
before I paint it.
I have one in my '72 Mark IV, and vague measuring says it will fit, but
before I yank it out of the 72, and test fit it into the tub, I was curious
if anyone has done this? Seeing that my wife and I can move the tub around
by ourselves, I don't really trust that small amount of sheet metal to hold
up in any sort of vehicle altercation, and that rollbar is better than
nothing.
As a humourous side note: I parked my Spit next to a Sabb Sonnet III
yesterday, and until that point, I was convinced that the Spitfire was
small. Compared to the Sonnet, it's the size of a Malibu wagon!
