Hey everyone, I kinda like this bar...Does anyone know where I can get one like this?? Please let me know Ed I'm not a structural engineer and perhaps one will weigh in on this. Isn't this device relying upon the rear bulkhead/firewall for downward force (or upward if your inverted and in need of protection). And if so, has the section that was removed from said bulkhead/firewall weakened it's ability to support the roll bar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) No, the upward/downward force would go primarily to the feet of the bar that is attached at the longs. I would think that the V-Brace would be more for side loads. And as others have said, that bar is too low |
