I like the look of the carbon fiber roll bar protector bit I'm not sure if it meets the rule book specifications for padding. It reads: Adequate padding must have minimum1/4-inch compression or meet SFI Spec 45.1. I don't see how carbon fiber can be used as a padding as it doesn't compress. The Bickle site doesn't say this protector meets the SFI spec. I can see using it on the side bar to protect from scratches, but not in the head area as it offers no protection. Do you plan to use a different padding for the head area? Am I missing something here?

Danny, You only need padding on the roll bar if your helmet is 6 inches from contacting the roll bar only.We have 45.1 in that area of contact. Type of padding depends on ET. The carbon fiber used is not 6 inches from helmet. Hope this helps. It is in the rule book too.

Thanks Tim. After looking closer I see your 45.1 in the head area. Good luck this season and I'm enjoying following your build. Regards, Danny

Nice Build. Question, are you using stock rubber bushings in your front upper control arms?
I have solid bushings in my Impala, used solids in bottom too. Am I too "old school"

Hey Danny that's actually my dad Vince. The carbon fiber is just for looks and to help with scratches usually guys just do a little piece , but I went ahead and did the whole bar and thought it looked good .

Thanks Tim
