I am looking to purchase a used or new Scca legal roll bar for my 1999 NB. I have a soft top with glass, so i don't know how much that comes into play with fitment.
I will likely be taking the car to local tracks and want something that is scca compliant.
pm me or post up pics and price.
;)Thank you
How tall are you? What seat do you have?
Call William or Gary at Track Dog Racing in Dallas they should be able to help ya - Link -> http://www.trackdogracing.com/ ::Banana::
I am 5'9" and currently using the factory seat. I do plan to get a different seat, but have not started searching for it yet.
Another thing to think about is if you will eventually get a hardtop. The hardtop bar is a little shorter and sits farther back in the car, to clear the top and the side latches.
With an M2 roll bar, you should not have any trouble with your glass rear window.
Gary is the best bet for a new bar, and might be able find you a previously owned bar. IMHO, It would be best if you didn't get a "used" roll bar.
As for your height, how tall are you when you sit down? I am 5'9" tall standing, but am long waisted. So, I sit more like someone 6'2" tall.
I am all legs! I sit really short.
Sounds like you're about to do some track events:
Just an FYI, I'm about to start parting my car out.
Hard Dog Hard Core Hard Top M2 Double Diagonal. Bar is about 3 months old.
Also have 2 Ultrashield Rally sports
2 Ultrashield harnesses
Hard Dog bolt in harness bar
Tein Mono Flex
RB sway bar with brace
I'm going to put up a for sale thread, but just letting you know.
Interested in the rollbar and harness bar :)

You don't have to have a "hard core" bar for track days at MSR do you? My '91 has a hard core bar but the '99 has a sport bar... That's good enough for the track assuming it meets the height requirement right?
I called the SCCA to get clarification on SCCA approved roll bars.
The first thing they said was the SCCA does not "approve" any roll bar but does have recommended guidelines. So technically speaking there is no SCCA approved roll bars. That being said, if you read the current SCCA rule book in Appendix C on pages 232-234, the Hard Dog Sport meets all the guidelines for construction. Also, Solo I is no longer around according to the guy I spoke with so it seems "Solo I approved roll bar" has even less significance. As for the broom stick test, I personally have never seen or heard of an event that performed one.
You might want to call "a local vendor" who is allegedly offering a sale on Hard Dog roll bars for the month of September or so I've heard.
