Looking to get a better roll bar on my Westy. It currently has the standard single bar one. Can anybody around Aberdeen do things like this? Im after the RAC bolt on style one : http://www.westfield-sportscars.co.uk/shop/product...

I used to have an RAC style bar but needed more 'headroom' as my head stuck above the roll bar.

Came in the post quick and is a nice bit of kit at a decent price.

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave, a really good option that. Did you had your fitted or fit it yourself? How much welding is it involved? Did you bought another cover for the back? Cheers, Chip

You need a roll bar for your westy?

Does your dog fall over a lot?

(sorry, couldn't help it!)

I'm fitting it myself...

Waiting to get it back from work as I'm having to get a 'nick' taken out the base plates so that it clears my harness mounts. Apart from that it is very similar fitment to the RAC style bar I had fitted so not a huge drama.

No welding required. Bolts in at top and the supporting struts bolt into the points on the chassis at the bottom. As far as I know all wetfields already have the mounting points on the chassis.

Cheers,

Dave
