Stag ROB in 2000

[dazzer]

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.

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.

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.

Interesting, thanks guys, so has anyone got images of how the b posts and T bar comes together and is attached to the shell?

[DJT]

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.

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.

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.
