I bought a TR6 with a roll bar. I'm dubious about it effectiveness, since it isn't supported by frame members, only the sheet metal of the rear shelf floor. Any listers have thoughts about roll bar

Hi Jerry, It's mostly cosmetic. Do you like the look? If not, just remove and sell it. If so, it's still better than the convertible top frame. I have one (the narrower version) and I like the look b

if you'd like to remove it, I'd like to buy it (seriously) even though the roll bar is only supported by sheet metal, I'd still like to think it's providing some protection. And some would be better

Thot I'd throw in my .06 worth on roll bars. Were it not for a bar, this message would not be appearing. Had a GT-350 w/ the factory bar - made a lot of jokes about closet rods in da car ect. Then o

Hello. If the roll bar is only mounted to the parcel shelf (the area behind the seat but above the floor pan), then the effectiveness in a rollover is probably marginal. Without going into a lot of d

Doubtless the metal of the rear shelf would twist and stretch, but it'd still take a lot of energy out of any impact, and there's a good chance you'd still have the bar wedged upright against some pa

I have my roll bar installed on the shelf as well. However I put some large plates on the underside of the shelf to spread out the load and give more stability. In the event of rolling the bar would

You have already been given a lot of good advise about why you should retain the roll bar. I felt like a few on the list that just bolting it to the shelf was not enough support. Mine is welded to 1
