New Barbie Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I am going to fit a side impact bar and wheel intrusion bar on the driver's side of my car and could do with some fitting advice. As far as I can tell, there should be a mounting point for the wheel intrusion bar which is where the petty strut would go on a LHD car. I know the other end goes to the A-frame mounting point but on my car which is the latest chassis, the A-frame mounts under the chassis, not above as on older cars so I'm curious as to whether it will all fit OK. The side impact bar seems to need me to drill holes through the cross chassis member from below and I think I also have to remove the metal support (or at least bend it)for what I suppose would be a hood thing at the base of the FIA bar? - it interferes with the fir when I present the bar to it. Does anyone have any advice on fitting before I drill through the outside panel of the car in the wrong place. It looks as though the side impact bar will rest against the plate of the wheel intrusion bar once fitted ? Thanks for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Barbie Posted August 24, 2002 Author Share Posted August 24, 2002 Wish I was but K2RUM was my drive and the car is not ready. I remember from the last Curborough seeing you car and that was part of the reason I went for the added protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
