Mine will never be a true track car, if it was it would be easier just to get a pro to build a full cage as that would be far safer anyway! For the regs chec...

I doubt I'll use it for much track work to be honest, mostly just a bit of blatting around on the road, perhaps the odd hillclimb?
I ride bikes mostly and prefer 2 wheels, the MX5 is just a bit of a toy to play with :)

the main hoop is one complete piece, due to the position of the seats and the fact i wanted the main hoop as wide as possible (so not just between the seatbelt towers), its made to fit as far forward as possible while still clearing your head. Not a fan of the narrow bars as they look strange! A har...

not going to be a homologated bar, not interested in that.
Just want something that looks the part, and offers a lot more protection than a thin style bar.

you could always get a roll bar made from NB40 Med. Tube, similar sizing to the Manz approved but considerably cheaper steel! and most engineering shops have the formers for bending. It won't be Manz approved though, but a lot better than nothing! Material costs me less than $50! I'm in the process ...
