Roll Bars

[roscoe]

I'm at a good point in the restoration of My BN-2 to install a roll bar. I've poked around on the web and not been able to find anyone who manufactures a bolt in unit. I can make one myself, but the cost for what I've have seen for similar installations,it is probably worth spending a few hundred dollars for someone else to do the engineering and fabrication. Does anyone have a source for something like this? Thanks in advance.

Jon, try Joe Huffaker, at Huffaker Engineering. 707 935 0533. They're at Sears Point, which is a nice drive from Sacto, if you take 128/121 over to Napa, and then down 121 to Sears Point. Or, you can take the boring way, I-80 to Vallejo, and across 29.

With some thought, you should be able to come up with something. I ordered some 1-1/2" x .120" 4130 tube from Mark Williams Enterprises (famous for drag racing axleshafts). I sent them detailed drawings/dimensions for the two (2) hoops and then I did the rest.

I did revise the diagonal bar at the rear for easier access to the battery and spare tire.

Hi Jon
This company has them for my BJ8 on sale. I'm thinking of getting one. If you call them they will send you a catalog.

Thanks, Walter & Randy. I still haven't made up my mind as to whether or not I'll make my own or buy one, but now I've got a couple of sources if I choose the latter.
