Title: Rollbar
Post by: VWGlassee on July 09, 2013, 22:03:39 pm
Hey Guys!

At EBI I've taken some pictures of a rollbar mounted in a Bug.
I would like to know where I can order this (in Belgium maybe :) )?

If the owner recognizes his interior...  ;D
*Sorry for the crapy pics*

That's an EMPI 3894 "Show Bar."

I had one in my '66. I don't know if I would trust it as a protective device but it is wonderful if you want to bang your head into a giant tube all the time. The thing is more likely to hurt you than protect you in a collision. And for the front seats to go back fully the seat backs would have to bend. At least it was that way on my car.

Find a shop to build a proper weld-in cage. You can do a lot better than that for a lot less money than just the shipping overseas.

Ok Thanks a lot Henk!

I don't have a pic of the car itself :? Only of the interior.
