Rollbar / Half-Cage
I only see 2 options for a bolt-in rollbar.
StudioRSR - Looks like a nice piece, but the main hoop seems to just bolt into the floor. I don't love that it doesn't go into a reinforced area like the seatbelt anchors. CMS - I haven't seen the install instructions, but it claims to be bolting to reinforced areas. I don't see that available on their website any more (just an old thread here) Does anyone know of any other options? |

Don't bother with RSR unless you feel like being lied to and waiting 4+ months when they tell you it will be ready in 2 weeks. Once they get the deposit, they will cease all communication no matter how many times you email them. (When they were responding within an hour beforehand).

Fall line looks like a good option.
https://ind-distribution.com/collect...lt-in-roll-bar IND also sells the BMW Moto GP roll bar, but it isn’t cheap. https://ind-distribution.com/collect...87-m2-roll-bar |

That looks very clean with the rear seat delete like that! Are those Cobra Nogaro? If so what mounts are you using and how is the angle of the harness back to the bar?

These are BMW factory F82 GTS Euro seats on factory mounts. The bar lines up well w/the seats to achieve the needed 20 degree max angle from horizontal. The seats fit my 5'11" frame nicely w/ no issues - the cross bar is at a good midpoint.

Did this require any drilling?

I had the bar installed by a racing shop that specializes in these set-ups. They removed the interior/carpeting and welded mounting pads into the car for the bar to bolt to. The pads are a small square of sheet steel and if one desires to remove the bar and go back to stock interior, you can unbolt and install the interior trim over the pads.

I've also found this one, but so far haven't found anyone who has one.

Presently installing an RSR bar. VERY well made, seems to fit (so far) very well too.
I'll be posting pix of the install later tonight. I have the x-brace that goes from the bar to the back seats in, now I'm tackling the main hoop.

This probably won't be much help as I'm based in the UK, but I recently had a custom bolt in t45 steel cage made my a small shop called JP Cages in Lincolnshire. Great customer service and communication from the young lad, Josh, who owns the company and I'm extremely happy with the cage. He makes cages that comply with racing regulations in the UK. Might help some people when they want to have a custom cage designed in the US. I asked Josh to use the BMW Moto GP cage as a guideline with some tweaks.
Just need to fit my Recaro Pole Positions next 👌🏻

We have some good fabricators around here. I’ll have to look into custom, but the Fall-Line bar looks like a good backup if custom turns out to be too pricey. |
