SDgoods Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) I recently sold my Autopower roll bar and had my friends over at SAE motorsports in Oceanside CA build me this utilizing the front mounting points on the fender well and a cool cup that bolts to the strut towers and connects all the points.. What do you all think? Edited March 24, 2014 by SDgoods 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDgoods Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 How much did they charge you for it? To duplicate it would be about $650. Its 100% bolt in other than drilling 8 holes in the fender wells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Would it work on a 280 with stock seat belts in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDgoods Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Would it work on a 280 with stock seat belts in place? It should but its made from scratch so they can virtually make you anything you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Can you post a photo of how the front mounts are bolted to the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericbauer Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Since it is made from scratch, I suppose they need customer car present to bend it up? Or did they take measurements from yours and can reproduce it without a car present? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did they take measurements from yours and can reproduce it without a car present? I can find out but for a tight and clean fitment depending on how intricate you want the bar it would probably be easiest for them to have the car. Ill find out and let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ritrebor Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Looks nice. Since you had the Autopower bar before, what didn't you like about it that you had a new one built. I ask because I have a Autopower roll bar just like your old one that I haven't installed yet. ritrebor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Looks great! Do you know if it will meet any SCCA requirements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because I have a Autopower roll bar just like your old one that I haven't installed yet. ritrebor I didnt like how close it sat to my head in my bride seat that leans a little further back than most. The new bar sits slightly farther back but doesnt sit as high. Its also just designed a lot better as the autopower only bolts up to the fender wells while the new one utiliZes the strut towers, a bar between them, and an extra diagonal bar from the strut tower to the main hoop.

Officially Im not sure but like my last post said it seems to be designed better than the autopower scca so i assume it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
