Wolfe Racecraft makes one of the best roll bars for the Mustang and BBR currently has a group buy on them. http://www.wolferacecraft.com/install/must/s197bar.aspx You can get a 4 point bolt in bar for her car.

Unless I missed it, not sure Wolfe offers a standard rollbar setup for '05+ convertibles as the 2 on their website are for S197 coupes and '73-'94 verts.

Get a six-point rollbar if you are going to do this and just get swing-outs.
A 4 point in not nearly as strong in a rollover and isnt NHRA legal.

They basically said that their roll bars are 4 point and their cages start at 6 point and cages are unnecessary for regular driving because they have bars in front of the driver seat and it could create more problems then would fix.



Zkiller you want to try to explain the difference between 4 point and 6 point to me?

The difference between the 4 and 6 is the number of points that attach to the floor. A 4 point cage would have a main hoop right behind the front seats (usually with a cross bar) and have 2 rearward mounted bars that either attach right behind the rear seats or in the trunk.

And for a 6 point, you have the same as the 4 only you also have side bars that runs between the drivers seat and transitions to the front floor board. This set-up is need for drag racing and adds side protection. For a more streetable application, these can be made to swing out along with being removable.

Sounds like you wold just need a good 4 point set-up.
