Canadian_Westy Posted January 2, 2015 Posted January 2, 2015 I don't currently have a boot box and I'm just about to replace the standard roll bar on my '92 Narrow Body SE with an RAC roll bar. Looking for a new or used boot box, preferably with the cut-outs for the RAC bar already made. Bonus points if boot box is British Racing Green :-) Failing that, any tips on places that make boot boxes, or creative/improvised solutions, much appreciated. Thx

Welly Jen Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Narrow body boot boxes are much easier to cut the holes for the RAC bar back stays than wide body ones. The stays go through the flat rear panel, rather than throough the sides at an angle as shown in the magazine article Scott referenced. I did mine by clamping a laser pointer in the top roll bar mount and pointing it at the bottom mount. I then put the boot box back in and the laser point marks the centre of the hole to cut. Make a circular hole the correct diameter, then turn it into an eclipse until the stay fits through neatly. Tomorrow I will try and take a picture. If you can get a narrow boot box, don't worry too much if the holes are not already there. Jen 1
Welly Jen Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 A really bad photo taken with my rubbish 'phone camera.
Petrol.Head Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I have a BRG Boot box for a narrow SEi that I suspect is the same as the SE. It already has cut outs for an RAC rollbar. If you need any photos and/or dimension just message me.
