Hello,

Hi,

Firstly nice waggon!  My friend has a mantits (deliberate typo) which has just been supercharged.  With respect to your roll over bar I'd say it is possible in carbon BUT you'd need to test it to determine structure.  Even then it would only be known for the situation of the test.  This would be very costly.  As you say, steel is a known quantity which is why its used so heavily.  IMO you're best sticking with a steel roll over bar (yes I know its heavy) but your life may depend on it.  If you intend to race at all then it will have to be steel to pass scrutineering.

If you are trying to save weight the best option is to remove it from the body panels.  IIRC marcos jsut use GRP for panels so weight can be saved there.  There are other options if you need more weight savings.

Thanks FLD,
