General Roll Bar dimensions

Post by RJ80 »

Wondering if someone might be able to help me out with some roll bar dimensions. I know that various bars are slightly different, but general dimensions and mounting points should be roughly the same, I'd imagine. I'm trying to figure out if a friend's roll bar is for a 124 spider or not... it came with an 850 and doesn't fit that car. He's halfway across the country, so a test fit is impossible at this stage.

Could anyone give me some approximate widths between mounting points to try to figure this out?

Thanks very much in advance to anyone up to the task!

Measuring the front mounting points from inside of the right bar to inside the left bar is 45"
Measuring the rear mounting points from the bottom of where the bar is welded onto the support left and right is 41"
Measuring front to rear inside the bars is 13"

Is that as clear as mud? :wink:

pull the lower portion of your back seat and look for the point where the rocker meets the cross member that runs under the front lip of the seat.

the roll bar will/should straddle those two support members on each side.

My main hoop is 39 inches inside to inside and 35 high floor to top of hoop. The lateral supports are about half way up angling back and in, they are 8 inches away from the main hoop. I have pics I can post if you need them. (Doing this on the phone right now)
