Apparently, yes.

And I really hope so as I have one sat in my garage waiting to go on the series when it gets sorted out.

I think it will, but may require some modification, one of the tubes on the main hoop may be too long to bolt onto the cappings so you'll need to shorten it.

£140, but only in Warwick.  Sounds like you got quite a good deal.

mmm, I hope so, but we'll see. Appears to have inertia reels with it too.

Right after 3 1/2 hours driving, paying the man the £62 I won it for and £28 worth of petrol I picked it up.  :lol:



So it has inertia reels but, not the seat belt mating buckle and the plates that fit in the sides of the tub  :(

Now any ideas on fitting? The tube is much bigger than the tube for the hood stick location which is at present under the back of the truck cab side panel.

So do I butcher my nice original Landy or the Gay roll bar?

I could cut back the tube to the mounting plate but then I lose strength and rigidity and just bolt to the tub.

Or I get some round bar machined to fit inside the tube and also reduces down to the size of the socket tube in the tub?

Anyone have any ideas / suggestions?

The roll bar fits behind the hoop holes.  That way you have both installed at the same time.  I'm just gonna cut holes for mine to fit through and then bolt it to the cappings.  Not as strong as it should be, but still affords some protection.  I wouldn't cut the roll bar down to the mounting plates as you're just gonna lose all the strength that way.
