roll bar padding and cover?

07-13-2015, 09:37 PM

We're looking for some padding for our roll bar but have seen also (at the local track some time ago) a vinyl cover for the padding that had velcro. Mainly looking for the door bars to keep the powder coating protected. Does anyone know where to buy it? I know padding can be purchased anywhere but not sure about the covering.

You can get carbon fiber tube protectors from many of the chassis shops... IE.JR race cars.... Jerry Bickel,... A.R.T... Tim Mcamis.... etc.

You could try an upholstry shop. They should be able to make one for you. Just measure the length and circumfrance.

MJ Quinn @ Derby City Covers has made them in the past for me and other racers.

Thank you. He sent me a PM and I called him and ordered a set for each door bar.

The owner of a car I have in the shop used a soft, thin cloth material with velcro sewn on to wrap the padding/bar. Used the SFI padding. The material has enough stretch that it can be pulled pretty snug when installing. I like it better than some of the vinyl covers I've used in the past. Looks great.
