Show Us Your Roll Bar

Nice looking bar.

But think that is really a 4 point bar. A 6 point bar will have legs going past the front seats. 4 point bar-main hoop and 2 rear legs. 6 point bar-main hoop, 2 rear legs, and 2 front legs.

You are right Rusty. I am pretty sure the reason they call it a 6 point is because it uses a welded flange/bracket that lines up with the shoulder harness seatbelt bolt. Hence a 5th and 6th connection point. Not sure though.

Some counts 5th and 6th shoulder harness as a points, some not. Depends of regulations.

I don't think anyone is under the impression that this is a proper 6 point(as indicated by my "you are right Rusty" statement). Only that it does indeed have 6 mounting points if you include the ones that secure it to the factory seat belt holes. They also make a version with side bars (I.e. true 6 point) maybe they call it an 8 point though haha.

The salient question is whether or not you'd pass tech for hpde/pdx. Prob not I am guessing.

All right, let it be 4 point

I did consider the rollbar with side bars previously, but suddenly changed my mind and decided to go 4 point bar as I'm driving car mostly in the city.
Here in Russia we don't have hpde/pdx

There's 1 big issue with this roll bar. It would not comply with any SCCA, NHRA or NASA spec. The continuous bends at the top of the ceiling, as well as the add'l bends near the floor behind the seats are not compliant and actually take away from the overall integrity of the roll bar itself.

Its a bada$$ looking roll bar, but just would not pass or meet any safety regulations here in the states.

Right, there're no approvals, but who cares when the car is not racing in professional series

Looks like I will be needing one of these if I want to track my car. For safety sakes I will need a HANS device for sure due to my neck injury and a roll bar will be a must. A harness bar won't cut it. I really want to run Road Atlanta and Daytona one day. Even if it is just once.
