Phil Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 I believe that my roll bar is a standard one, so the question is how easy is it to fit the FIA bar and will it effect the weather gear in any way. 1700ss DD full weather gear 1990 car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Weather gear clears FIA bar on my 1990 car (which started life as a Supersprint). Bar is not difficult to fit (given that you are comfortable with spanners) but does require the removal of the rear shock absorbers in order to fit one of the bolts. This bolt goes in from underneath and is sometimes awkward to line up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Mad Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 here's the clincher.. weather gear fits over fia bars on some, but not on others.. depends where the poppers have been place apparently, but is not to difficult to remedy. j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Gillet Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 How long would it take to replace the standard bar by the FIA one excluding the time needed to fit a new boot cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 it would take quite a while as you have to remove the rear shock absorbers to put two bolts in there that go upwards into the base of the roll bar. Its not difficult (although a bit of force may be needed to get the rollbar to line up with all the holes properly) so if you're not very practiced with these things you'll do it fine. Wait for a sunny day and do it outside! Dave Hooper - dmch2@lineone.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
