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....:mad:

Any good sources with no hidden fees out there?

try a plumbing supply place. its used for pipe insulation. im betting that pipe insulator is way cheaper than roll bar padding to boot

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

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.

Oh no you are wrong....shipping is free!;)

Didnt even think Pelican sold the stuff. Time to wallow thru the catalog.

Pipe insulation is of much less density and has different memory characteristics than "proper" roll bar padding.

Don't mix the two !!!!

Not to worry Wil, I think I sufficiently pounded this into Shawn's head last weekend!:D
