I met a guy at a car show today who works with stainless steel and seemed willing to have a go at doing a roll bar for my Manx 1.
Can anyone help with info on the correct dimensions? - height, width, internal angles. I assume they are normally done with 2" tubing? Was thinking it would be easier to go with the original style that mounts to the rear seat bulkhead (and not the floor), with two inward facing mounting tabs near the base and two rearward facing taps to secure to the sidewall of the body.

Thanks

Stolen from Peter(?) but I'm sure he won't mind. I gave a local manufacturer of disability aids/swimming pool bars etc. my original Manx bar and they reproduced it pefectly.



More shots of mine and others...

The wall thickness is quite thin, 2 or 3mm.
