double roll bar height

[adyv8]

hi,

just fitted my double roll bars, i have looked in the pilgrim manual and it says the height for single roll bars is 215mm from the body to underside of bar, does this apply to double roll bars aswell?

Hi there

I think the roll bar height is critical when you come to fit the hood. I have assumed it is the same for either one or both bars, but haven't got to the hood bit yet.

Having just done this for twin single roll over bars, I think there might be some confusion. The 215mm measurement I think, should be taken from the underside of the DOUBLE width roll over bar down to the body in between the seat belt mounts. If you have twin single roll over bars, then you have to somehow make the same measurement. I just used a spirit level and a rule, and then subtracted the width of the non-exisitent roll bar section in the middle of the car. But its a simple measurement when you ave the standard double width roll over bar. Does that make sense?

btw Tony told me that you don't need to be mm perfect (as I was 2-3 mm out, told it the softop would stretch the extra distance.

Should do - when Tony was showing me how they fit the hoods with double roll bars they basically clip a bit of plastic drain pipe between the hoops to support the hood.

Hi ,
The rollbar height is not critical to the 0.5 of a mill but what is critical is the piece of plastic pipe they use to hold the roof up.If your hood is fitted properly then the plastic pipe DOES not support the strech in the hood and it all ends up sagging in the middle.
I made up a removable ally bar on mine as the plastic pipe idea does not work.
