Best prices on roll bar padding?
I almost ordered from Summit Racing till I saw the $8.95 "handling" fee snuck in at the end....
 Any good sources with no hidden fees out there?

The rollbar insulation supposedly has higher density foam. Besides I dont think I can get Orange pipe insulation foam!

The handaling fee is your shipping cost. It's just a fancy name, it's the same $9 Pelican charges.

roll bar padding is different in that it should not be flammable. not so with pipe insulation. Sorry Shawn, don't know of any good source. Mine came from OG Racing with the cage.

Pipe insulation is of much less density and has different memory characteristics than "proper" roll bar padding.
Don't mix the two !!!! ---Wil
