ultraslow Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Looking for a roll over bar that will fit my '85 S3 Super 7. FIA or Non-FIA will do. Caterham UK does not stock such. Ultraslow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7guy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have the original roll bar off an '83 Cat long cockpit. Located in San Diego. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraslow Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 I will need to see if this will fit my regular chassis. ultraslow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultraslow Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 Wayne, Sorry it took me so long to respond. I contacted Caterham in UK and they said the ROB for the long chassis will not fit my chassis. Quoting them " To be honest Steve we have had these in the past and had fitment problems, so I think the only option is to get the car/chassis to us and then have one made (will obviously take a while though)" I just love the way they talk. Anyway, it won't fit. Thank you anyway. Good luck selling it. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ship the car to the factory? That is really funny. Sort of implies each one is different and specifically made by hand. Just how different can they be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee break Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If you have a photo of what you want, check with some local race fab shops. They could give you an estimate on building one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they, Caterham, or their vendor are having fitment problems they need to hire a production manager. Or learn how to fit pipe and weld it . Our fellow forum guy Craig Chima makes very nice roll bars .... Give him a call... Edited September 4, 2012 by S1Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
