In the middle of our F87 harness bar run right now. Had a few late adds so we bent a few more main hoops last week. Have a couple of extra if anyone wants to jump in on this round of production. Shoot me a PM or email me for details.

Hey yall - just wanted to add onto Booya's comments regaring OG Shark's roll-bar. I've been meaning to do a build-thread for my own M2C, along with some 'instructions' (mostly tips) on how to install the roll bar.
I installed it several months ago, and OG Shark was super helpful for tips during the installation process. Purchasing experience through him was also top-notch. He's really all about customer service and making sure you're happy. My recommendation during installation: remove EVERYTHING from the rear, including the panels, side-bolsters, etc. I tried to install the bar w/ the side panels still in-tact, huge mistake. Thought it could fit (and it might), but you risk scratching up the panels if you don't remove it. Longest part of the project was drilling through the metal where the front hoop bolts in. Some pics below, also wanted to mention that the horizontal brace bar is high enough to fit a 19x10.5" w/ a Bridgestone RE-71RS underneath. I'm told that these tires run wider than other brands. I found that the best way to carry wheels/tires w/ the OG Shark roll-bar was (2) wheels, preferably the smallest ones - and in my case, the two 19x9.5"'s, in the rear back seat area, (1) wheel in the trunk, and (1) wheel in the passenger seat. With enough effort, you might be able to fit (3) wheels in the back area, but I did not have enough patience to figure out tetris-wizardry. |

gopropham You can also put the two 19x9.5s in the front id you dont need your passenger seat for track days.
Older photo of some 18x10s side by side in the front strapped to the roll bar.

That's good to know! I definitely need the passenger seat still and don't ever anticipate removing it (even on track days/weekends). I told myself I will always keep this car dual-duty, and if I was to ever build out a full race car, it will be more than likely on a different platform.

Now is the time for any last requests on the close out kit - should have it wrapped up pretty soon. |
