Greetings, Fellow Listers.
I've been thinking about putting a roll bar in the Spit. Has anyone
ever
seen an "adjustable" bar? I'm tall enough that if the car rolled, a
street
bar would hit the ground at the same time as my head. Sounds rather
painful! So, a taller bar would be good. However, I'd also like to use
my
soft top without all sorts of funky modifications. Perhaps something
using
telescoping tubing?
As always, thanks for your input.

Bill,
No offense, but are you serious? You are concerned about saving your
noggin,
but are willing to use an adjustable roll bar? I wouldn't want my life
to
depend on any hinges or bolts that would be used that would allow the
bar
to pivot or shrink. Either modify the top so that it fits over the roll
bar,
or take your chances without one.
Regards,
Doug
