Re: Speedster Kit
In my former life, I owned a company that built bolt-in roll bars that were built to SCCA specs. In looking at some of the photos, I suspect that the roll bars shown were next to useless. Material should be 1-3/4" OD mild steel with a minimum of 1/8" wall thickness and radius bends need to be done on a mandrel bender. The biggest problem I see is the angle of the brace and where it is tied into the main hoop. I actually removed the roll bar on my roadster as it was more for looks than safety. Based on my experience, the frame attachment points would need to be beefed up considerably and the finished product would look considerably different from the bars usually seen on an A speedster.
