Re: Lakewood roll bar specs
 

Dave sent me some good pictures and I found an original ad from Lakewood.
Tubing size shows 1.750 dia. and .125 wall thickness.

The Vega has a fold down rear seat. What do you guys think about leaving the backseat in, making the rear bar run back a little futher and bolting in at the rear of the folded down seat back? This way I can fold down the rear seat and bolt the bar in. But if I wanted to use the rear seat, I can take the bar out and fold the seat up.

Re: Lakewood roll bar specs
 

Sounds like a great idea!

Re: Lakewood roll bar specs
 

Wouldn't the third bar fall between the bottom of the seat and the seat back? Either way I think it will look good. What did Don Hardy offer in this time period? Speaking of, I remember seeing some front struts in the for sale section several months ago. If they fit they would look good on your Vega. Does anyone have a catalog they can post on here?

Funny you mentioned that. I was looking through some old mags. last night and saw a Lakewood ad. After studing the picture, I thought about what you are suggesting. The seat bottom is very easy to unhook and remove to get access to the pull pin/bolt. I think I could bolt down the plate and have the receiver stub miss the seat bottom, so it could stay in.
Struts would require major surgery to the front end. They wouldn't be a bolt in.
