Hi,

Could you let me know if it is for a long or short cockpit?

Thanks

[CaterBram]

If it's for long cockpit whats the height from the mounts to the top, I tink i've got a standard FIA roll bar at the moment but need 2-3" of extra height to get the clearance.

 

Also does it come complete with the petty strut or does the normal FIA roll bar petty strut still fit ?

It's my old tall FIA bar from my '87 early de dion long cockpit which has the same top mounts as the live axle. I gave the petty strut to someone else having never used it. I can't remember the dims off the top of my head, I have 410mm in mind but I'm not sure. Did this month's Low Flying include the tall FIA bar profile in the article on rollbars and cages?

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Beat me to it!

Since buying it from Tyrone I've now changed the seats so the taller bar isn't required any longer.

It'll give you that.

How sad am I! SWMBO has been in the garage and the the drawing on the wall confirms the dims I took for CB and it is 410mm vertical height.

 

I should also say that 'old' refers to the fact that it is no longer mine and no reflection of the condition. Nice colour too.

Unfortunatly my car is an old L.A short cockpit

[CaterBram]

Cannonball, would you accept £125 if it was collected ?
