For sale: Avon roll bar
Lightning - 22/9/05 at 08:45 PM

See my archive .

I'm going to cut the two back stays to gget it out without removing the body but these can be sleeved for refitting. Roll bar is Tiger and as such Tiger quality. £20 plus P&p or pick it up from sunny Devon.

Reason for getting rid?

I'm 6'4" and the bar is below the top of my head. Maybe that is why I am loosing hair. Anyway I'm making a higher one. should be fine for normal people

BTW the back stays fit to the bottom plates on the rear of the chassis. Rescued attachment Chassis 015.jpg

Interested in the bar but for a locost, any idea if it would fit?
What material, size and thickness is the bar made from.

Thanks,
Andy

It would be easier to add a bit above your head.....like most racers

As triton says, this is the sort of idea: http://www.gridshots.com/s2000_1/gs_28152.htm

Ahh ,but the existing bar is not in seamless tube a la RAC. My new one will. This will give me the option of Hill climbs and the like.

I will measure over the w/e, but as the wife is away for the next couple of days I might be down the pub

lightning, I'm interested in your roll bar. I,m visiting Dorset at half term, and could probably make a detour to collect it then. Are you prepared to wait 3 weeks until then ? If so, U2U your phone number and we will arrange the details.

Cheers, Alan

No problem. I would rather sell to an Avon as at least then it should fit. Famous last words. 07970 268237

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give you a bell on Wednesday between 6pm and 7.30 if thats OK ?

speak to you soon !

Lightning - 26/9/05 at 04:35 PM

would you be bringing your Landrover?

If so if you could take back some ladders to Kent you can have it free of charge!

How about that for a good deal.

I have to send up 6 x10'0" steeplejack's ladders.

ayoungman - 27/9/05 at 07:57 AM

Yes, I'll be in the Landy. Where about in Kent do you need to send them to ?

Lightning - 27/9/05 at 04:19 PM

Anywhere really the other office is in Chatham but I can get one of the crews to pick the ladders up from you.

ayoungman - 28/9/05 at 08:07 AM

Its a deal mate ! I can store the ladders at work. Its a Technology college right on the A20 in Sidcup. Easy access and secure. I'll phone you this evening then !

I should know the place as I went to school there......and so did my son.

Can you U2U me with your address?
I will be visiting Torquay on Friday next week. Can I pick up the roll bar then? It will be at about 1 o'clock. I need to then do the return journey to Swanage !
