Default Looking for Bolt-in Roll Bar Pics

I am especially interested in the feet of the main hoop. I don’t see a good spot for the required 6 by 6 sandwich. I have a weld-in kit but want to consider all options.

Thanks - your third picture shows what I wanted. Bolt-in appeals to me but a bolt-in bar can’t be anchored where a weld-in bar usually sits. The bolt-in main hoop can’t be perpendicular to the rocker panel. I may weld in the plates for my main hoop and bolt in the others.

whats your opinion with the wolf rollbar now that you have had it for a few weeks? looking into buying one but not sure yet if I want a bolt in or not.

I put my in last summer, it was easy to do I have the bolt in. But you have to make sure that the main hop is center in the car, if you don't get it center it will mess up the bars that go down to the floor (door bars). I didn't center mine and I can move my drivers seat up and more than where it is. The bolt in is cheap in the long run unless you have a welder or know how to weld. If you don't then you will have to pay someone to weld it in and its not cheap.


I was amazed how much it stiffed up my car, you can jack it up any where and the whole side of the car goes up.

Sorry, my main hoop is too far over to the right by 1/8" and I can only put my drivers seat at a certain point because the door bar is not allowing it to move up any more than what it is.





You can kind tell by this pic. If you look at the cross bar in the middle of the hoop and look at where the hoop starts to go up and curve. If you look at the gap where the curve is you will see that the left side has more of a gap then the right. Hope this helps

if you plan on doing a significant amount of racing then get one welded in. i just dont trust bolt in roll bars, mayb im too overkill but in the aspect of a safety piece,better be safe then sorry. -tony-

I have a wolfe boltin with swingouts and removable crossbar. Since I still need to beable use the rear seat since it's a street car. If you don't get a custom built one this is the next best thing you can get. I'm happy with the fit and finish of mine. I would recommend getting some different door bar pins if you have swingouts though. My drivers door bar is tight on the seat also and I centered my main hoop. I have to have the seat farther forward since I'm 5'7".
