Anthony A Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sounds like a line dancing step but im sure its not. What is one, where is it and what does it do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It's a bar that starts near the passengers left knee and bolts to the roll over bar rear support. It was first used by Richard Petty in stateside racing, hence the name. It adds more strength to the roll over protection Edited by - ECR on 19 May 2008 20:40:17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBL Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 "Twenty dollars; same as downtown!" 😳 Sorry, that's a punch line to an old joke - I simply couldn't resist. It is a bolt-on steel strut that attaches to the top of the roll bar and extends to down inside the passenger footwell, triangulating the roll bar load path.

Dick Whittington Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It is either: a large piece of metal that comes with a range of bolts that don't fit and that sits in the garage and never gets used. or: A removable metal brace that bolts to an FIA rollbar above/through your passenger's head and to the chassis near the front of the passenger doorway. Can be a requirement for sprinting?

Anthony A Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 thanks, and what about the side intrusion bar, ive seen a car for sale advertised as having one but its unclear where it fits and whether its permanent. I know its a safety feature but if its on the outside of the car its not very attractive. Is it a removable item without leaving bolt holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 It is outside, functional but not pretty. Leaves holes I assume. 7 related photos Edited by - Stationary M25 Traveller on 19 May 2008 21:15:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 My side intrusion bar is fixed at the foot of the rollover bar and underneath the car by the two front seat fixing bolts. It would remove without leaving a hole .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
