Roll bar with back seats?

Is it possible to keep the back seats with the Panamericana roll bar installed?



and if not... do I need to buy any parts to get rid of the seats? Thanks

Tony,

that's great news... do you have a pic of it by chance? I've never seen one with back seats in there

I don't have any pic's but I had it and it works. The only problem is that you can't fold the rear seats down all the way.

Yes, everything remain's the same. You can even use the rear seat's with the bar.

Not sure it would be safe with kids in back with that in the car....

Just a thought.

JB,

I got your original message via the email response setup and I appreciate your concern and input. Trust me.. I will never ever put my nephews or church kids life in danger. I just was curious if I had to take out the seats or not. Thanks Jeff for the reminder

Thanks Doc, but I don't want the x-brace. I had one and sold it b/c I decided I need "easy" access to the back

This may be true, but does anyone know for sure? My kids (6 and 4) love riding in the turbo.

It is true. If you think about it, if kids are in the car and it gets side swiped, the kids heads/body are essentially surrounded by metal beams that can cause more trama and damage than it not being there, which is why lots of people caution having roll bars installed in cars that are not solely used for track
