Rollbars, From what I have seen the Autopower bar is good. Installed to sheetmetal is done all the time. The more bars distributing the load the better. However, I am not a pro fabricator, but mounti

A full cage is always best but here is an example of a 4 point bar getting the job done. One of our fellow Lotus Cortina drivers had a problem with his brakes in turn 10 at Thunderhill more than a ye

CASC tech specs, which I feel are very reasonable, suggest that roll bar mounts to sheet metal should have a metal plate of say 24 square inches (4" by 6"), of .125 steel, with a matching plate under

Actually, if you REALLY want to keep yourself protected, you could try out some of these "vintage" vehicles. They might be a tad slow on acceleration, though, but they would certainly help keep some
