Roll [ over] Bars

Does anybody build a "stock" roll over bar for a 1004 or know where one could be had new or used? I am in a place where things like this are difficult to get made, to say the least?

Thanks!
 
I made my own, as there was nothing readily available for the 6 cyl/two-seaters either.

I think your best bet is a race car fabricator. I just went thorough this on a car I am involved in building. After looking high and low all we could find was "light duty" premade bolt ins. Check you local area for roll bar and race car fabricators.
 
Taiga2,
Try Joe Huffaker, at Huffaker Engineering. 707 935 0533.
Hey, what's a taiga... is that a tiger from Boston?
 
...This is a TIGA (#2), not a Taiga. But I will try Huffaker, I know those guys, as Sears was my home track for 12 years.

Thanks.

Finally decided to make a new rollbar that would fit under the Healey's soft top.

I've had the bender for a year, and had ordered double the amount of 4130 1-1/2 x .120 tube I'd need to build a rollbar for a customer's M Coupe.

The main component:
