Re: Rollover Protection System
Yorgie, the Shelby style bars are the only devices that look aesthetic enough to consider, but they are may from “integral skin urethane.” Carroll Shelby would surely be astonished to see a plastic strip masquerading as a safety device. I’m surprised they aren’t liable for accidents regardless of warning notices!

Re: Rollover Protection System
All of the Shelby bars that I've seen are steel tubing encased in the urethane skin. I'm not saying they're as strong as NHRA spec bars, but they'd be better than your head for holding the car up from the pavement.Cougrrr wrote: ↑04 Oct 2018, 06:42Yorgie, the Shelby style bars are the only devices that look aesthetic enough to consider, but they are may from “integral skin urethane.” Carroll Shelby would surely be astonished to see a plastic strip masquerading as a safety device.

BTW, I think electronic ignition is pointless.

Good point, Yorgie, I didn’t realize they at least had something metal inside.Yorgle wrote: ↑04 Oct 2018, 08:13All of the Shelby bars that I've seen are steel tubing encased in the urethane skin.
