jgkurz Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hi Folks, I'm considering adding a roll bar to my 280Z for safety, so I'm allowed back at the drag strip, so I can use a seat harness and so I can mount a camcorder. Before I make the purchase I would like to understand what it will look like before I spend the cash. It's adding up to be a lot more expensive than I was hoping. Shipping alone from CA or OR is supposedly $160.00. Uggg. I'm looking at the Autopower Street/Sport bar with the removable horizontal brace: Here's what the actual Z roll bar looks like: If you have a roll bar in your 240Z, 260Z or 280Z can you post pictures? I'd especially like to see the mounting locations. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Do you have a link to the bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinOlson Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Honestly I would just have it done locally. I have a Pro Tools bender that is brand new that you could borrow. I have the die set for 1.625" tubing. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinOlson Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Are you primarily interested in a bolt in roll bar so that you can remove it down the road? There are some good cage fabricators in the area that could do a roll bar over a weekend. Really If I had time, I'd bend you up a main hoop as I have my car for a template.

JustinOlson Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Racetech Fab does very good work. They did the initial cage for RREV's supra and Chris Bergmans Supra. They have done a ton of cages. I'd give Russ a call and see what he can do for you. http://smg.photobucket.com/alb...jects/ http://www.racetechfab.com/ Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the cost is the same or a bit more it would be nice to have a custom fitted bar. I'd still like to see pictures of roll bar (not cage) installations in an S30 if anyone has them. Thanks!
