dazzer Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Is the Stag ROB aesthetic or does it actually offer protection? If it does is it a bolt in or weld in option? Im just re-assesing the practical application of my existing full ROB which makes the rear seats redundant in my 2000 rally saloon against a possible ready made Triumph Stag option.

Richard B Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I understand its there to strengthen the shell in the absence of a roof. More fore 'n aft than left to right if that makes sense? 🤔That said the T-Bar and the B'post are substantial items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 As Richard says, my understanding was that the factory added it to fix a severe scuttle shake / twist / flex issue on the prototype. It also provides some roll-over crash protection but that was not the primary purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzer Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Interesting, thanks guys, so has anyone got images of how the b posts and T bar comes together and is attached to the shell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJT Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The T-bar is attached to the B-posts with a single bolt on each side. The bar attaches to the windscreen frame with a handful of machine screws. I have seen photos of Stags that have rolled and the occupants were unharmed. However, there is no way that it would be suitable as a roll cage for motorsports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzer Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Thanks DJT. The Hoop could be a neat basis for an integrated solution though. I made the current ROB from TR ROB Parts which has passed scrutineering no problem, but i think an improvement could be made from the Stag fitment.

mole42 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Stag B posts are a substantial part of the shell and it may be difficult to reproduce the strength and fittings in the saloon shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
