Leather wrapped roll bar

I've had a bunch of PMs asking for more photos of my roll bar. Again, I got it from Matt Mesler who was at ByDesign then and now is at Meridian Online.

I'm still working on taking digital pictures so there are a lot of them there - but I got good pictures of the attachment points.

I'm 6'3" and the bar does not interfer with the movement of the seat, it goes all the way back, the kids have no problem with the bar installed.

Looks like the Porsche Tech Rollbar version without the cross.

Ken;
That looks great!
I don't know who Matt sends stuff to for leather work, but having seen a covered roll bar or two in person, they are very talented.

Sportser78-

The front of the bar attaches to the lower connection of the front seat belt and the rear attaches to the outside anchor of the rear seat belt. Easy in and out.
