mazda roll bar

I don't think having them fitted is going to be any of a bigger risk than not having them fitted!

I was more looking from the looks side of things and the bonus of having the wind breaker!

[Nige]

Fair enough.

I had thought that just buying a pair of the bolt on pug 206 cabrio hoop and bolting then through the rear deck would have been good......
then decided not to..........
they should be easy to do....drill a couple of holes.....
if you want a wind blocker then do as many others have done and get a perspex thing to go between the hoops

great idea Gareth if looks are all you're after! I would suggest looking at the fixings as they will have to be strong enough if the optional perspex wind blocker is fitted as well.

so what is your opinion? can we have roll bars or not? and which ones?

They were both Group buys so you had to stick your hand up at the time,
One pops up now and then because someone might have bought one at the time,
but then thought bugger fitting that

oh i see...well does anyone of you here still having his elan?i saw that most chats are earlier years.. i think i must be the last of the moicans..

i,m progressing to get one made as a one off - very much in the same concept as the ones already done ref: the group buy
The company that did make them can not justify the option of making a few one off's - and they also said they had to do a fair bit of work to get them fitted
so - if you have a reputable fabricator - someone who maybe works with track / hill climb car's etc ... then - I would sugest this as an option
For a one off - it will always be preferable that it is built on the car

any fabricator that you consider, first qu. = can they bend the pipe without creasing it ? - if yes then you know your on the right track, or put another way, if they show you a bend with mandrel crush or bite marks in it - walk away

dare say you must be able to get a decent price for the job in Greece at the moment

yeah i understand.... anyway ok thanks... let me know if something new is coming up
