I usually stay on the 107 Forum....I have a 450..BUT..I'm thinking about another project that needs a roll bar..and the 500 SL might work. Can someone tell me how the bar is constructed ? Is it rectangular tubing..then padded and covered..or...is it round tube with padding, etc. The project will be purely decoration..thanks...jv...

I'm not going to use any of the MB mechanism..just the hoop mounted solid for looks. Has anyone seen how they are made ?..

Anyone care to take a guess ??

Seems like a hollow rectangular cross section of something covered in leather (SL600), but it really could be anything.

I guess the guys that flipped their cars and destroyed them also left (passed on or are in jail/prison) the forum.

Thanks..Guess I'll have to buy one and find out for myself..to be sure..

Or go pook around the Junkyard to find one that rolled and rollbar deployed.

Up here in the Ozarks where our farm is, the junkyards are few and far between. Looked thru the biggest last year for '57 Ford parts. Found all kinds of old iron..2 Graham Hollywoods..side by side..One still had Supercharger...A friend bought them..and last fall they shipped to Belgium...
