Subject: Aero roll over bars
Send reply to: Will <tr6@mac.com>
HI All,
I ordered an Aero roll over bar for my TR6 from Moss UK, making it
clear that I needed a design that does not restrict the seat travel.
I was told that I needed the wide fitting, but having offered up the
part with a seat in place it obviously does prevent the seat from
going right back. The Moss accessories brochure does say the narrow
bar restricts seat travel by 2.5", but I wonder if this is a
misprint? Sounds wrong to me - surely a narrow bar would take up less
space?
Any one fitted one of these bars and still had the full range of seat
travel available?
TIA

Hi William,
I think all bars will reduce seat travel In small cars as the TRs.I got
an Aleybar in my TR6, the aerodynamic model with rather large
high back Recaro seats and depending on the recline angle of the
back the travel is reduced to some amount. Wide bars required in
racing, for shoulder protection, could allow more travel,but they will
not allow the installation of the soft top frame nor the errection of
the top. Unfortunately dealers do not always say the truth when
selling accessories,or the just don't know. Another point of concern
is the crossbar what very often prevents the installation of two
seats in the TR when full seat travel is required. So far I'm almost
convinced that a wide bar will not fit should you wish to make use
of the soft top and both seats.
Regards
Jean
