4 point roll bar?

Ok i have an 87 ta full interior. all the panels back seats etc. I want to keep it all in there. Basically i am wanting it for the harness bar, which might as well go roll bar too. anyways how would i run the back brace bars around the seats? Could they be bent to run along side of them? Its not like anybody is gonna ride in the backseat but i want to keep the interior. Also What kind of tubing would you recommend for it? thanks Jake

I would just get an autopower roll bar with the cross bar section: http://www.livermoreperformance.com/...ety.html#Chevy

Thats where I bought mine...I love it. I made the mistake and got the roll bar without the cross bar though...

They make a Harness Bar for 4th gens, that mount on the rear seat belt shoulder mount plates. I've wondered how well it would fit 3rd gens.

Re: 4 point roll bar?

I want to put some kind of bar that goes under my t-top center bar for rollover

what do you think if I welded it into the windshield pilliars and ran it into my subframe connector by the rear suspention

did not mean to steal the thread but you made me remember and idea I had so I started typing

if this upsets you guys I will make my own thread

Re: 4 point roll bar?

That looks cool. But i figured i might as well do a bar too just for more safety reasons.
