thinkturbo Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's seems too much work involved, and cost with all needed to go racing, so I'll carry on road racing my local Ragley loop unofficially, keep to road legal fun.

Mark (smokey mow) Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 To my knowledge Westfield only make their MSA rollbar for their current wide chassis not the narrow. The best off the shelf options available would either be the playskool bar or the old Westfield 'RAC' bar although this can be a bit low for some people. If you can't find one second hand then there's plenty of places that could also make a compliant bar for you for not much difference in price to buying off the shelf.

B.RAD Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I've still got the materials left from when I made my timing strut last year, happy to make you one if it helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Cost to make a timing strut is a bout £5 for a bit of black sprayed ally and a couple of fixing screws. MSA blue book tells you the size and position required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FILFAN Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 If you paid any more than £30 to get the mounts welded on I would be surprised. You can do all the prep yourself and woukd take minutes to weld them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
