Stephen Long Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 To change the roll bar from road to FIA, is it likely I will need to change my book cover ? Longy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Pearce Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The old boot cover will still "sort of" fit with puckers all over the place.I bought a new boot cover when I changed to FIA bar - looks much nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 My boot cover looks OK after changing from standard to trackday roll bar. Haven't bothered renewing it.Richy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul seymour Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 No one will see it under your hood so dont worry sir , say hi to john . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Long Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Hi Paul, I will pass on your wishes. The oxted half hood arrived today. Excellent service from them I purchased the wrap/holder this fits to the roll bar and makes it very easy to deploy the roof. I can't wait to get the new roll bar fitted tomorrow and the red piping is very nice.Happy bunny. To keep it all looking smart I think I will go for a new boot cover.

Ozzy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 And............?Did it get finished? And did you finish your book, whlie John was scraping his knuckles! Oz....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Long Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ok yes it did all get finished. A couple of interesting things. I have a metric factory built car and the first thing to notice is no bolts in the bottom of the road roll bar and no thread or hole to fit them so removing the old roll bar was easy. The next thing is the new F I A roll bar fits the boot cover perfectly so I dont need to replace it. Thirdly the oxted trimming roof is a glorious thing to behold the red piping suits the car and the material matches the doors etc and is easy to keep clean. An excellent job well done in record time by John with assistance and no I didn't get time to read the book. Longy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What do you mean there were no bolts? How the hell was the thing secured then?Oz.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Long Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 We expected there to be bolts from under the suspension through the chassis and into the roll bar, my car didn't have any just the two small bolts on the top and those in the back of the boot.
