Paul,
The Autopower race bar, if its like the race bars for Triumphs, will not
allow you to use the top (hard or soft). Sounds like you will need to get
something custom done. In your neck of the woods, I am sure there are
roundy-round folks who build roll bars/cages. If you decide to hire one of
these folks, be sure that you have a copy of your rulebook so you can make
clear to the fabricator just what is required/wanted. Failing that, you
might want to contact Kirk Racing Products in Alabama
http://www.kirkracing.com/ to see if they can make you what you need.
Good Luck,

Hi all! I'm newly subscribed, and in the early stages
of building a vintage race-legal MGB for use in a
relatively few east-coast events in 2004. The car
will always be a dual-purpose street/track car, so I'm
not out to build some crazy horsepower "winner", but
rather a very period-correct, reliable and well put
together car.
That said, I have a question for the list:
Does anyone running in SVRA (or a series with
equivalent safety regulations) have any sources for a
rollbar for this car? I live in Charlotte, so in
theory I can have one fabricated locally, but in
reality, I'm having a difficult time finding a shop
that can do the work affordably.
Anyone have any ideas? Can I start with an Autopower
"race" bar or one of the ones from a place like
www.tsimportedautomotive.com? Or will I run into
legality issues? I need a roll bar that will fit
under the hard top and not be terribly intrusive for
use on the street, and I also don't want to spend a
bloody fortune on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
