1967 Unipower GT

[scholar96]

Recent interest in and talk about Rochdale Olympics racing has prompted me to start this new tread, I have both a Rochdale Olympic lightweight and a Unipower GT both of which we have been trying to work on for several years now, I have ben very interested in the detailed problems accociated with fitting roll protection in the Rochdale, I can see similar problems being accociated with the Unipower.

I have had to effectively build a new chassis for my Unipower, using information from several sources including Earnest Unger, and a very helpfull chap from the USA, finaly the arceology of the several buckets of rust removed from my car which was the remains of the cars chassis. I have reproduced drawings and the space frame using new tubes and as much as possible from the original car. This realisticaly being only the dashboard top tube and part of the rear engine framework.

My car has no signs of any roll over protection, my question is did the works cars have roll bars etc, if not do any of the ones racing today have them, and finaly (although I have ideas of how to fit roll over protection) any advice from RAC / FIA scrutineers / championship co ordinators etc would be most welcome.
