FITTING FIA ROLL BAR CLICK PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
The "Caged" track day bar which is FIA approved when the optional petty strut is fitted. As this makes the passenger seat unusable I doubt if we will have it fitted much.
I had a few problems with the rear diagonal mounts. The holes in the roll bar were of a larger diameter than the holes in the chassis mounts. The supplied bolts were also of a smaller diameter than the holes in the rollbar. I have enlarged the holes in the chassis mounts and used a pair of the petty strut bolts for now. Tey are a bit too long so I`ll replace these when I get a few shorter ones.
The other problem I encountered was getting the two bolts which screw up from the top suspension mount, torqued to the build manual value. These bolts have a low profile head which makes them hard to tighten as most sockets have a chanfered edge. I tightned them up as much as I could without destroying the bolt head. A quick check on blatchat confirmed this was normal practice and it was even noted that quite often these bolts are left out.
