Winnie,
I have a rollbar in my Mk1 Spit and except that the 1500 model seats
don't recline because of the interference from the bar, there are no
problems. The top goes on over the bar and I haven't even noticed the
tendency to bang my head as some have mentioned. You can see the
rollbar at: http://home1.gte.net/spitlist/Joe'sPage.htm.
Regards,
Joe Curry
