Bobby Austin roll bars & cages

[Gregory Petrolati <gpetrola@prairienet.org>]

        This isn't a "vintage race" question... exactly. One of my winter 
        projects this year (apart from trying to get my TR4 to stop leaking 
        [HA]) is to build Tamiya's newly released Jaguar MKII scale model as 
        Edgar Boles' vintage racer. I've gotten his and David Hinton's (the 
        Jag's preparer) cooperation in the project, which is a big help. In 
        one of the photos I noticed the car has a "Bobby Austin" Roll cage. 
        I spent nearly all day Saturday scouring through old vintage race 
        magazines looking for an advert to no avail. Is he still in business? 
        Is the MKII's Roll cage a custom job, or an "off the shelf item"? I'd 
        like to get in touch with Austin to get design and dimensions so I may 
        replicate it in scale.

        Any help you gentlemen may render would be... very helpful :)

        Thanks
