[TR] Rollbars for TR3

[Andrew Uprichard]

Dave:

Here are pictures of mine - a rollbar from Racetorations in the UK
(www.racetorations.co.uk).  

Doesn't interfere with tonneau or soft-top.

Attaches directly to the frame (outriggers).

Has a bar for over-the-shoulder harness straps.

Back seat not usable for passengers (but then, When was it?)

But it's expensive !  I know they can put a rollbar in a shipment to the US.
I have one coming this week for my second TR3.

Subject: [TR] Rollbars for TR3

I'm curious about getting a rollbar for my TR3.

A few questions:

1) The "street" rollbars seem to still allow the top to be put up,
   but I presume I need to modify that tonneau cover?
2) What part of the car do these attach to, exactly.  It looks like
   it might be just the wheel well, in which case I can't imagine
   it would be very strong - or does it go through the body and attach
   to the frame?
3) How much space does it take up of the "back seat"?

Does anyone have any photos of a TR3* with a rollbar installed?

Thanks!

Dave
