Thumbs down

Called Tom and seems like he's ready to take orders................... appears he's more of a fabricator/designer than a sales/marketing guy. Said pics would be coming out on his site soon.

Prices quoted over the phone include black powder coat, and everything (including powder coating) is done in-house.

Std 4 point: $500
4 pt w/welded x-brace and harness bar: $600
4 pt w/removable x-brace and harness bar: $750

Welded x-brace and harness bar renders 'glove box' and secret compartment unusable. Some trimming of plastic on OEM hoops in all cases. Guaranteed fitment with soft top - did not inquire about hard top.

Can ship UPS, barely. Quote I was given was $70 to Maryland - dunno if that's his standard rate regardless of destination, or if his rate is destination dependant.

Good conversation - seems like he's got his act together, and spent all the time I wanted, discussing the different configurations.

FINALLY, IT'S HERE FOR REAL

THIS IS GREAT NEWS!

Hopefully the $750 number is just like the Elda where you only have to trim some interior panels

question, how does the welded one render the glovebox useless? i can see the secret compartment being useless, but what does the roll bar have to do with the glovebox?

The diagonal blocks the glove box

No, he's right. The diagonal blocks the secret compartment. At least, that's how it was for the ELDA version.

With the welded diagonal bar, the secret compartment only opens about 2". its enough to shove a tire gauge or wheel lock key into the first part of the compartment but don't expect anything more then that.

My concern
1. Which one are legal for what kind of races?
(sample 4pt for auto-x only and 4pt w/ x brace for SCCA TT only)
2. Use of stock seat belt.
3. Use of harness.
4. Use of secret compartment. (I just might take the cover off)
5. How much trim on stock parts?
6. Fit under soft top.
7. Lost in seat travel.
8. convert back to stock in case of ....

go to the bottom of the R&C Forum page and type "GFL Rollbar" - everything you asked has been discussed at nauseum so you will have no problem finding it
