Rollbar extension
Mar 28th, 2016 at 3:56pm
 
With my big fat head (and other parts)the clearance between my helmet and rollbar may be tight
...

Is this type of rollbar extension legal?
...

Thanks,
Jim

A couple of things that could help. REduce the padding in your seat. Even a little less padding has a big effect on your height relative to the top of the bar.

If that doesn't work, email myself (michael_currie@telus.net) or Jim Kurtz (j.kurtz@shaw.ca) and we'll open a dialogue.

It's not a great idea to weld on an additional piece to the hoop. Some sanctioning bodies are OK with it, but in the event of a rollover it's vulnerable.

Better to talk it over with us first.

Thanks Mike, I'll be in touch when I get the car back together and off the stand.
