I would like to install a roll bar on my 69, 1600 and don't even know where to begin to inquire so I'll start here. Anybody have any experience with roll bars? Do they make specific roll bars or doe

You need to ask yourself if it is for cosmetics or function. A bolt in roll bar is as easy as contacting Dean, http://www.datsunparts.com Bolt it in and be on your way. If you need one that will actu

Bar plus massive steel plates to 'sandwich' it to a solid body: maybe 75 pounds. Possible result by not adding those 75 pounds: I'd rather not think about it. Put in the bar and drive with an empty

I doubt most bars weighs 75 lbs. I could easily pick up the one I took out of our 2000. It's a nice substantial basic bar without a cross piece for harness mounting. Took it out so the seat would go

If the roll bar fits under the top then you will probably hit your head on the ground in a rollover. Therefore, it really doesn't matter how the rollbar is attached. If you use steel plates then the

All this talk of rollovers scares me. IMHO, there's very little chance of survival in a roadster in a freeway rollover. I would like to have one anyway! A friend of my brother's was T-boned by an SUV

Being in an accident is scary, no matter what you are driving. You have some choices; 1) Go buy the biggest Hummer you can find so if you are in an accident, you'll plow through what ever hits you.

I agree with Paul. I think we would go a long way toward higher degrees of safety on the roads if ALL drivers were required to really learn how to handle their car in difficult situations. Greg Burro
