Looking for FIA or taller than Standard Roll Bar. (Imp. series 3 chassis)

[10speedbird]

Hello all! I'm relatively new to this Forum but have been quietly lurking for a while. I just last week picked up BigDog's S3 DeDion Caterham and have imported it up to where I live in Victoria BC. (Canada) I'm going to be spending some time restoring and updating the car over the fall and winter but at present would love to do a trackday or two during the summer. The current standard Roll bar won't suffice as I'm 6'1 and with helmet even more so I'm on the hunt for a taller Trackday roll bar. The car I believe has a mid nineties imperial Long cockpit chassis, though it is registered as a 1983. If anyone has any leads please pass them along.

Hi. Sorry, can't help you on the tall rollbar, but is a lowered floor an option and / or tilting the seat by fitting spacers. Bruce at Arch in the UK may be able to get you a floor (presume he would post overseas, but not sure how much that would cost).

 

I had a 2003 S3 and I made a foam seat in place of the Tillett as my head was too close to the cage. Easy and cheap to make and probably a better short term solution to get you out on track than finding a tall rollbar.
