Looking to purchase a roll bar for my vert. Any ideas what guys are using out there? Pictures?

I’m having one custom fabricated. It won’t be exactly like this as I removed the rear seat but it’s a start for you.

Wow now that looks pretty sick!

But I have a question, is it safe for a driver without a helmet?

There was an article on Road & Track dedicated to this question which said:
"you shouldn’t be driving a vehicle with a roll cage in it without the correct protection for yourself.”

Thoughts?

I did go with seats and full harnesses. I have 5 points but only 4 points in the picture.

Nicely done! Thanks for uploading more pictures. 5-point harness is a pretty serious stuff. Makes me want a convertible.

Thank you. I’m hoping to get it on a circuit again and a full cage is a requirement. I’m taking it to the strip again in May to see if I can get into the 9’s.
