rollbar removal, should I remove the rollbar Options

[Mike1981]

Hello
I will be picking this 1972 914 up this month

it was used as a racer

It is street legal and I will be using it solely for pleasure driving

I will be driving some curvy back roads mostly

Do you think I should remove the rollbar

I can get in but its not the easiest move for me.

Will this be a huge job or relatively easy

Thanks

That would be a neat trick hitting your head on the rear bar. You'll have to teleport through the seat and leave the 5 pt off. Not a bad idea to pad the sides.

A bar stiffens the car so the feel will be different. I like a car with a roll bar stiffened chassis, but the concern in a crash is noted.

You'll have to cut it out, which isn't hard at all.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) As long as you (AND PASSENGER) always have the harness on and properly tightened, your head shouldn't ever come near it.

However, if you go back to stock seats and belts, it should come out.

If you decide to cut it, be aware that roll bars can be under immense amounts of pressure from the chassis flexing and twisting over time since it was installed. Be careful.
