hms Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Well we finally have a roll bar for the Hornet, and will be fitting it this next Saturday (12tj July) at the Midenhead Tresure Hunt/Tech Day/F1. The bar is made by TR Lane, is a hoop with diagonal brace and harness bar. Picture of Lexie with the bar fitted. Lexie's was fitted on Saturday, the hoop is mounted by 4 bolts each side to the chassis, the legs with a further 2 bolts to the chassis per side, finally sith two tabs that mount to the seat belt bolts. Very secure. As well as the increased safety, it has stiffened up the back end a lot and given me seat travel back that I lost when I fitted the Mazda style bar and wind blocker.
