Roll Bar

Hello -

Anyone know if there is a rollbar in production that would fit in a 1972 Targa? I've seen some in pictures posted here, but am wondering if those are custom made one offs.

Thanks!

how tall are you? We just removed a DAS sport from a cabriolet since the bar places the driver too far forward. Well built but positioning had this 6 footer scrunched up in his car. If you are around 5'8" or less, call us- will give you a good deal on the unit we took out

thanks

Thanks Dave, but unfortunately I'm just a tick under 6 foot (5'11'').

we can build you one, but its not cheap going custom - figure on $900 . it will tie into the Targa shoulder harness mount pillar as well and be set back enough so you can move the seat full travel.
takes about two-three weeks from initial order

Anyone else want to buy the Das sport? good for either targa or cabriolet ;-)

I'm thinking about it and I'm about 5'8" but my car is a 1970 Targa. Would it still bolt in ??

Hey Dave,

The bumpers I bought from you worked great, nice fit and finish. I'm interested in the roll bar for a '78 Targa. How much are you looking for?

I'm 6ft and used the DAS rollbar in my cabriolet - Yep limits a little - but not what I would call uncomfortable. (Of course now I have one of TRE's IROC bars and it fits better and allows much more seat travel)
