Stainless steel roll bars

A while back there were many interested owners in a stainless roll bar
a duplicate of CMC's ,I had a race car roll cage builder fabricate a jig from an older roll bar I had lying around. The four mounting plates are be consistant to where they are on the CMC roll bar.. The finished roll bar is highly polished and looks as good if not better than chrome. With the high cost of stainless and labor to fabricate it, as well as spending many hours creating a highly polished "show bar". Please note as with the CMC roll bar as well as this new stainless version these are for show only and in no way are they anything more than an eye catching roll bars aka "show bars" . I am not representing then to meet or exceed SCCA or any other specs. If there is an interest them I will have the show bars built a few at a time.

Sounds great, but how much $ does this cost?

Thanks Bob

Great! Got any pictures? I'd like to see how it mounts and looks.

Anyone have a copy of the SCCA rulebook and can post rollbar specs? When I asked Henry for a detachable rollbar that meets SCCA specs what he came up with is a four-point-mount mild steel 1 1/2" OD by .090" wall thickness.

Be carefull about those things. I sat in a Speedster with a roll bar in it and it sits way to close to your head. The best way to deal with that is padding and then it doesn't look so great anymore. In a rear impact a bar that sits close to your head will kill you. In my driving I get to control what's in front of me but many times whats in back of me is dependent of the driver from behind. Bassically your letting the guy behind you decide wether your head will hit that nice thick chrome bar. If you get a roll bar just be thoughtful of a how that thing would feel in a rear impact, perhaps getting headrests would solve it. Just my two cents.

My particular head is probably harder than the roll bar :o)

Sorry for the delay in getting back on here . We are getting ready for the Kit Car Nationals In Carlisle Pa and the crunch is on the have 3 Speedsters there. One is a used refurbished black on grey CMC, another is a totally refurbished removable hard top med blue metallic with a Raby's Aircooled 'tm, Type IV "big motor"and last but not least a gun metal blue custom street rodded flared version with Vintage Speedster's 'tm ,interior and a Raby's Aircooled" 'tm, T-IV "big" motor a "real outlaw Speedster " to say the least that is a a shot in the pants to drive ! The plus to all of this is that we are a non profit agency that caters to youth in a tutoring & vocational aspect thus the Speedsters we refurbish and or assemble are available for what we haveinto them.

Enough tooting my horn! Stainless roll bar is identical mounting to the CMC ( we did a jig off the CMC roll bar)I will post pics this week as the car is at the school auto shop where it was built. This roll bar is actually a "show bar" as I previously stated . It is thin walled stainless thus we were able to shape it without distortion.
Pics and spec to follow. For anyone that is going to be at Carlisle , we are have three spaces located in the rear new pavilion.

What's up Doc? It sounds like you got into the business in a volume way. And with a really good twist if you are involving youth.

Now CMC did have a way of tieing those roll bars to the frame and the rear door post upright. (Not that that would take a 60 mph triple roll! Is that what you are doing, or are you just mounting them into the glass?

as stated before, I am interested...I think it was George who was maybe going to do a few...so wheres the pics? :)
