Roll Bars?
« on: September 01, 2006, 11:41:46 AM »

How many of you early A guys have roll bars or cages in your cars?  Who makes a good kit that's easy to install in an early A?  Can you just retrofit a kit for a 67-76 car to fit an early A?
Thanks,
Evan

You don't happen to have yours still filled out do ya?  I saw that.  It looks like a pain in the ass to get all the measurements right.  It would be really convienient for me to pick up though.  I live about 15 minutes away from Alston's shop.

Hey Mopowers, I'm in the process of putting one in a 63 valiant. It is made for a 68 barracuda from Competition Engineering. It was a little close to the door post so I moved it up an inch. It also is a 10 pnt. If you'd like I'll send a pic or 2
