[QUOTE="David Hester, post: 6211614, member: 6794"] If I can interject, when shopping for a rollbar, be sure you aren't going to do more damage than good. Cross bar should put your belts at shoulder level- give or take a few degrees. Routing them up and over the seat slots can cause the belts to fail. You want them to go around, well round, not square, flat, etc. You can cut belts with carbon fiber, aluminum, or fiberglass, covered or not. Read the directions with the belts.

Carbon Fiber, either. We had a Miata driver get beat up by his car a couple of years ago at Road Atlanta. His FIA seat flexed..never broke.. enough to let his helmet hit a couple of places in the car. Petty bar and forward bar of cage. Hit hard enough to push his helmet into his face. Corner workers said there was blood ALL over the car. They expected to see body parts (driver body parts) laying around the interior. "Just" busted his lips and nose. [/QUOTE]
