ROB COMP TR4-6 REM DIAG NO HARNESS BAR RHD
AVAILABLE This part is available to order
TR4-6 Roll Over Bar (ROB) competition type for soft top and hard top cars with a removable diagonal brace for Right Hand Drive (RHD) applications. A harness bar is not included. A harness bar RTR9148HB or HB-1 can be bought separately. See below
Revington TR's competition bars are designed for those who desire the extra rigidity of a diagonal brace for competition or track day use. The bars are handed so that the strongest point is above the drivers head, this ROB has a diagonal running from top right to bottom left. This diagonal brace is easily removable, being held in place by two sturdy M12 bolts. This extra convenience allows the ROB to be at its strongest for track use with the diagonal in place, and more convenient for road use with it removed, allowing better access to the rear shelf for luggage, dogs etc. Customers who use their cars primarily for track use may be interested in our cheaper fixed diagonal variation, RTR9053-2 series, listed below.
Note for TR4A Owners: Whilst this ROB is appropriate for all TR4 through to TR6 the hood catches on TR4A cars come close to the ROB backstays and may impede the fitting of a hood stowage cover.
RevingtonTR supply a full range of ROP including Roll Over Bars (ROB) and Full Roll Cages for the complete TR range. All ROB's allow the hood to be folded and unfolded and a hard top to be fitted unless specified otherwise. The following descriptions are used to describe the style of bars in our range.
ROAD BARS have no diagonal brace and have the option, to special order only of an integral, transverse harness bar. (RTR9053-1HB).
COMPETITION BARS are supplied with fixed (RTR9053-2 series) or removable (RTR9053-3 series) diagonal brace, and have the option to special order only of a transverse harness bar.
Will this ROB give me adequate protection?
Neil Revington provides some insight: -
All ROB's in the RTR9053 series are attached to the rear floor and wheel arch bases as can be seen in the photographs. Whist there are bars available for soft top TR4-6 with a main hoop that attaches to the chassis, they impede seat and hood sticks movement in many cases.
All main mountings of our full cages are attached to the chassis. Yes, attaching all mountings to the chassis would be fundamentally better but by how much? What is most important is the data relating to accidents. Fitting any one of the ROP's in our range is a good idea, choosing the right one is a matter of personal choice of how much 'cotton wool' to wrap yourself in.
The results of the actual events highlighted below show that body mounted ROB's provide adequate protection; full cages are available for those that feel a cage is the solution for them.
The original concept of this type of design can be attributed to John Aley of Aley bars in the 1970's. A very early bar was fitted to John Welburn's black TR2 which he then rolled at Goodwood. There are photos of John, arms flaying as he rolled over and over. John walked away with no injuries. The bar was intact, the wheel arches dented but the bar nonetheless saved John life. A few year later Frank Richardson had a similar unfortunate roll in qualifying for a TR Register race. In this case, Frank was also thankfully OK, the wheel arches were not damaged and the car, after a few dents were knocked out, raced the next day.
Fitting.
We do not provide fitting instructions with this ROP as in general it will fit in one ideal place. We do however offer a sheet of fitting tips, which can be downloaded via the 'Further Reading' tab above.
