ROLL BAR

Post by 1M3ANM3 »

Can anyone recommend a good shop to have a roll bar installed? I've been doing more and more HPDE's and its time to step up the safety. I have a 95 Mustang GT. I would porbably want something welded in, probalby a four or six point bar.

Thanks, Fernando.

Mitch Piper's shop out near Dulles does excellent work and they know the rules. Piper Motorsports.

How about the guy that did the Sux@$$ machine? Lee something.

I emailed you his info not too long ago. They posted pics of the cage somewhere ( either here or on NASIOC )

Someone recommended to me RPM Fabricators in Elkridge, but I've never seen their work up close.

My friend Ben @ Kaplhenke Racing can do it but I think he's pretty expensive like Piper and RRT. Check out this cage he made for a Spec3 BMW.

Polished tubing makes for clean weld surfaces and removes all scratches, mill scale, and irregularities.

There are probably dozens of prefabricated, inexpensive, bolt-in roll bars for SN95 Mustangs that can be welded if so desired. A roll bar is better than nothing but I'm not planning to venture out onto a racetrack with anything less than a full cage, FIA seat, and HANS device. Read about this recent HPDE incident at Thunderhill 6/21/08 - GT3RS Smashes into me for inspiration to get the best safety equipment money can buy.

Another vote for Piper Motorsports - http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=n ... otorsports - They put in a removable harness bar for me and I was very pleased with their work.
