Not at all, it is strange to see it looking so different. In last year's Ledgerwoods calendar it shows up with chrome/stainless wheels and again I prefer the black for that car.

The roll bar seems very well designed for road use, it doesn't get in the way of the hood and doesn't force you to wear a helmet. It can apparently be removed and reinstalled fairly easily once the fittings are in place. I don'y know if it is acceptable for any race series but it is certainly a lot more protection than having nothing.

This 4/4 Sport was at Ledgerwoods in 2009 with the factory track pack.

Would it fit under a studded hood? The Morgan bar doens fit under the easy-up but does fit under the studded hood, that makes it a nice intermediate height I thought. I'll ask though. Thanks J

I don't think any competition hoop will fit under a hood. I have the standard Librands on my car and it does fit....just, with a studded roof. The specs for comp bars set certain heights for head clearance and a line from the cowl( ?) to the rollbar. Something like that anyway. The standard Librands is not high enough to comply for racing.
Also, be aware that the headrests can hit the bar if your seats are right back. My drivers seat is lowered so no problem but passenger seat is standard and the headrest is high. It isn't an issue though as swmbodoesn't have the seat right back.
Nearly forgot....the Librands comes with a bolt on bar for fitting multi point harness seat belts.
It would be simple to simply swop upper rollbars from standard to the other...just a few bolts.

Jays,
I was thinking to use padding and 4-point harness to limit that risk. Also my seats are low (no wood shims) and I am not very tall, all helps a bit ;-) Have you compared the Librands competition hoop to the factory roll-bar?

The hood on the Roadster Lightweight fits over the competition roll bar.

Hi Dave, Spot on, that is the roll-bar I was looking for. Thanks for posting the pictures. Do you happen to know if it is still available or who supplied it to Morgan?
Cheers J

Safety Devices will only sell through their nominated dealer who I think is Melvyn Rutter.


Also check the MSA Yearbook for details of roll cages installation (its available online)

Is the Baby doll roll cage still available? I have one for my +4 but it is not fitted yet.
