benlindley 11 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi all - daft question time. Does anyone with the MSA roll bar know the exact diameter of the bars (tubing)? This is for a GoPro mount. The MSA roll bar will be Westfield factory model - any help much appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy (Sycho) 919 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Depends where you want to mount it, I have a full cage but believe it to be the same apart from the rear brace's. Main bar is 38mm & the cross brace is 32mm. i mount mine on the cross part so it's eye level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brilliant thank you - this means most of the handle bar (38.1mm) mounts will work and opens a load of options. Which mount do you use out of interest and are you happy with it?

Andy (Sycho) 919 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I just use the standard mount that came with the camera, it's not the strongest but it's pretty stable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CraigHew 1,790 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 My MSA bar is 44/45mm and, after a lot of experimentation, I mounted the GoPro on one of the cross braces. I use a cheap, but extremely robust mount from Ebay (less than £5) but also tether the housing with a wire strap and use a metal skeleton case to protect the camera should it get hit by flying stones or whatever. The metal case has a slide up backplate ensuring the camera doesn't pop out and it take various filters on the viewfinder. Worked to great effect for me for the last 2 years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
