Increase both safety and the rigidity of your Mustang's chassis with a
Maximum Motorsports Roll Bar. Intended for the rigors of drag racing, these MM
roll bars conform to NMRA and NHRA rules. Designed to fit with the stock Mustang
interior, MM roll bars are also suitable for street-driven cars, especially if
swing-out door bars are selected.
To keep delivery costs to a minimum, we designed these roll bars to ship with
the rear braces detached. This requires a minimal amount of welding during
installation to secure the rear braces to the main hoop. For hardtop Mustangs,
during installation the rear braces are bolted to the main hoop. This keeps the
rear braces precisely aligned to the main hoop, allowing all welding to be done
before the roll bar is installed in the car. This means you do not need to
remove your car's interior to avoid damaging it while welding. To conform
to the NHRA and NMRA rules, a qualified welder must use either the MIG or TIG
welding process to weld the rear braces to the main hoop. We recommend that you
get your own copy of the latest NHRA rules by calling them at 626/914-4761.
The convertibles have a slightly different installation procedure. To provide
a good structural attachment point for the roll bar's rear braces, we include
reinforcement plates for the convertible chassis. These are welded into place
behind the rear seat. These reinforcements increase the strength of the
convertible chassis at the attachment point of the rear braces. With a
convertible, the top can be lowered and stowed during installation, which then
provides easy access to protect the interior and complete the required welding.
After all welding is completed, the roll bar still bolts into place, and can be
removed from the car as a complete unit.
We maintain an inventory of all standard MM roll bars. MM
roll bars are shipped by truck freight, with shipping charges prepaid. MM
roll bars are uncoated, bare steel. For a high quality finish, the installer
should paint or powder coat the roll bar after the welding is completed. A
convertible's tonneau cover will not fit after a roll bar installation. Will
not fit convertibles with light bars.
Chro-Moly Steel
MM does not use Chro-Moly steel tube. Because of the
metallurgical properties of Chro-Moly, any welded area will have a higher
concentration of stress than the surrounding, non-welded area. This
concentration of stress can lead to the failure of the welded joint unless
properly relieved with a post-weld stress relieving treatment.
Because the MM roll bar design requires that the two rear
braces for the main hoop be welded during installation, if we used Chro-Moly
tubing those welded joints would need to be properly stress relieved before
final installation of the roll bar. We consider it to be too difficult and
cost-prohibitive for our customers to find a properly trained and certified
technician to perform the required stress relieving.
Bolt-in vs. Weld-in Installation
The MM Roll Bars for hardtop Mustangs are designed to bolt
to the chassis, without welding. With a bolt-in installation, the floorpan
is sandwiched between the roll bar mounting pads and the back-up plates
underneath the floorpan. There is a significant clamping force between the
two pads, which provides a very secure installation.
While they may be welded-in, allowing a reduction in weight
over a bolt-in installation because there is no backup pad on the other
side, there are serious issues to consider. If the installer is not in the
"expert welder" category, he may burn through the sheet metal of the
chassis.
The MM Roll Bars for convertible Mustangs require that some
welding to the floorpan be done. Someone who is in the "expert welder"
category is required for installation of a convertible roll bar
.These are available for 1979-2004
Mustangs and 1983-2004 Convertible Mustangs. We have 4-Point and
6-Point roll bars with or without swingouts. These are also available
with fixed, removable or without harness mount tube.
Please call for prices and applications.
Prices start at $259.95 for a basic 4-Point and increase to $449.95 for an
NHRA/NMRA legal 6-Point with singouts and removable harness mount.
