Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	A bolt-in roll bar isn't going to attach to any real structural member. And it's a lot of weight for a shoulder harness attachment point. Can't go wrong with UMI.

The bar I bought is on here in the for sale section, a Wolf made from 1.750 dom. I have always had a fear of a roll over. I have a bar in my drag car also. These cars don't have much roof structure and mine has t tops. Besides its a good mount for a camera and a 5 point harness. Oh Yeh if the car ever gets on its lid it will come in handy.

Maybe...but you should see these pics first. http://forums.focaljet.com/team-pit-stop/6...-cage-fail.html (notice the bars sticking straight through the floor?) More here: http://www.accordinglydone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17928 I'm not suggesting that these cars are Mustangs, etc. Just that you should evaluate anything you trust for safety and it's not a bad idea to err to the conservative side when in doubt.

I bought the UMI frame connectors and then came across a good deal on a Wolf 4 point and belts. It's a bolt in bar. I wouldn't think I need both, but as always my ears are open. Weight is my enemy.
