Roll bar on kardex
Im pursuing a 60 roadster and to surprise it has roll bar verfied by kardex. I cant find anything on how its installed welded or bolted. Anyone seen one before and advise on removal?

Re: Roll bar on kardex
I had a C one time that had the Factory roll bar. It had these stubs that came up from the floor, and went deep below. The roll bar was long gone. I think Kevin Jeanette has the car now.

Jason roll bar should be removable. If the car indeed still has the factory mounts it is a rare option. I wouldn't dream removing them. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=43653

Re: Roll bar on kardex
The roll bar is in it now with the top up and secured- I had read it was only used with the top down, so a bit surprised to see it in there. I also don't see any way to adjust the height which is odd since I think SCCA mandated they be adjustable.
The rub for me is I want a back seat for my family, and this car doesn't have it, but when do you find factory black S90 roadsters? Not often....
GT Werks shows a roll bar carrrera coupe on their website with a read seat so there is hope

SCCA NEVER mandated that rollbars be adjustable!

Re: Roll bar on kardex
That is not a factory roll bar in that Roadster. The rear legs are incorrect. Someone must have made it to fit on the original stubs.
