manx bar work

does anybody know if a roll bar in a manx is a saftey item or just a chassis stiffner because its only bolted by 4 bolts all up which is a bit flimsy for a standard bar for saftey.................

anybody.......................

Hey bugzla, I'm pretty sure it just adds a bit of rigidity to the body/pan. My Manx bar work was bolted to the side bars internally and the rear posts were only bolted through the fibreglass!! I ended up making some braces from the rear shock mounts so it was stronger,wouldnt have been much help in an accident/ rollover beforehand!! I dont have any pix as I sold the car a few years ago when kiddies came along, but I will doublecheck at home as I do have just normal pix of it and might be able to see the bracing??
Hope I helped

That is an old bulletin (1992) so just use it as a guideline

Come on Steve just shout yourself. You've seen my bars and take a look at the YELLOW TANK no way I'm playing chicken with that!!!!
Jeff does excellent work and good bloke too. If your going 4wding with your new work you'll need a good roll bar, If its any of the black river club lads...trust me.
My old nissan stood up on its head a few times even went for a paddle till the floor leaked 😊. :lol. So how are you coming along with joining the dark side? And will it be turbo?👍
