How tall are you, Allan? The bigger issue that you'll like have is
getting a roll bar sufficiently higher than your head and still be able
to close the top.
That being said, a bolt-in should do you ok. Note that the AutoPower
roll bar is specifically marketed as a "show bar" as they don't consider
their own product to be sufficient for roll-over protection. I'm not
sure why. Although I can say that Virginia International Raceway thinks
the AutoPower bar looks ok, excepting that I don't pass the "broomstick
test", i.e. you can't lay a broomstick across the bar and the windshield
without my head getting in the way.....
