TR4-6 Fibreglass backlight frame, untrimmed, unpainted with a Full Safety Roll Cage, fixed diagonal LHD suitable for TR4-6. This kit fits LHD cars with the top of the brace above the drivers head. The roof panel is not included but can be ordered separately.

This kit consist of a Full Cage and a Backlight frame. The backlight frame is a fibreglass facsimile of the aluminium original, with moulded-in studs to attach it to the body of the car in the same way as the original part is fixed. It has no mouldings inside the upper part above the window to accommodate the stainless steel finishers 611668 as these are not used in this application. The outer surface of the backlight frame is the gel coat straight out of the mould, ready for priming and painting to your choice. The Cage is supplied powder coated black; it can be fitted as it is or painted after trial fitting if required.

To clarify the correct description of Hardtops and Surrey Tops, although the general arrangement of fixed rear window with removable roof panel is generally referred to as a 'Surrey Top' car, this is in fact not correct. The cloth section, which replaces the roof panel, is the 'Surrey Top'. The rear window and frame is called the 'back light' and the centre roof panel is self-explanatory. We use these descriptions throughout our part numbers and fitting instructions to avoid misunderstanding.

How it works

Revington TR has developed an ingenious new Backlight design, which incorporates a Rear Hoop, part of the Full cage. The Backlight frame is made from fibreglass, but uses for its strength the integral Rear Hoop of the full cage which has two backstays which terminate at the rear bulkhead fire wall. Another bar is attached to the back of the fire wall and this attached to the boot floor beside the spare wheel tray. From the underside of the floor another short bar attaches to the chassis. The rear hoop fits right up inside the fibreglass frame, thus affording maximum rollover protection, along with better rear visibility than with any other rollover bar available for use with a fixed backlight. The legs of the rear hoop extend to the floor, and are bolted to the 'B' posts as well as the lower part of the rear wheel arches for added rigidity. Surrey tops and all types of roof panel can be used in the normal manner.

Whilst the ROB's in this range have sliding feet to accommodate different shapes and sizes of car, the full cage has fixed feet as it is expected that the cage will be fitted to a bare shell and the packers used to make height adjustments, thus taking advantage of the extra strength of welded on feet. 

The Full cage included with this kit is a competition device, its clever designed allows for normal road use as well as offering maximum protection for those taking part in serous competition. The removable roof and door bars offer flexibility in use as once removed, the car can be used as a normal open top. 

The full cage incorporates a Harness Bar as standard. This full cage is neat and unobtrusive. See RTR9177 series in section 'Accessories, Tools and Safety Equipment' for a fuller description.

To ensure flexibility to meet customer's needs, fit up kits are offered separately in 3 versions:-

RTR7172F  Fit up kit, for detachable backlight including Perspex window, seals and fixings etc. 

RTR7172G   Fit up kit, for detachable backlight including glass window, seals and fixings etc. 

RTR7172X  Fit up kit, for detachable backlight including seals and fixings etc. A rear window is not included. This kit should only be chosen if you already have a rear window in glass or Perspex.

With one of these fit up kits added to the main kit RTR7267-1L, you will have everything you need including fitting instructions

to complete the installation.

Note: As the backlight frame in this kit is being incorporated with our integral rollover bar, the back light frame would not normally be trimmed as the rear hoop fits right up inside the 'top hat' section of the backlight frame making trimming near impossible. It is usual to simply paint the inside of the frame satin black or car colour.

Unlike the ROB's in this range, separate part numbers for the TR4 and TR4A-6 are not required as the backstay feet do not sit on the rear wheel arches and therefore the full cage will fit all cars from TR4-6

Please Note: - The front hoop goes down the side of the dash panel, requiring a small amount to be removed from each side. Revington TR do not approve of mutilating perfectly good original dash panel. To alleviate this problem we supply a solid aluminium panel, which can be adjusted to suit. Order Part no. RTR6133:
