Well, the problem with bolting a roll bar to an MGB frame is that
it ain't got one.
Properly designed roll bars are worth having. What's proper? Refer to
the SCCA GCR or Solo regulations. The roll bar should have backing plates
to spread the load out across the sheet metal structure, not just
washers. There are lots of guys out there with bolt in roll bars/cages,
just gotta do it right.
As far as three-point belts...yes. You can't drive if you're not a
part of the car. Of course around our place we prefer racing harnesses.
