Well I thought I may as well try and source a 25mm 306 roll bar to mod so I tried the ebay route with no luck, frustrated I started googleing 306 tuners and came up with a couple of companies.
First call I spoke to a guy called Steve who said he would make me a 25mm bar no problem, then the penny dropped, I said if you are going to make one can you sell me a straight piece of bar ?
He said - yes, what are you going to do with it ?
I said I am trying to improve a Rover P6, there then followed a long silence, Steve then said to me that he had drawings for these and had produced a sample for a Rover guy who had never come back to him with any feed back, nor had any money changed hands.
Understandably I was embarrassed at what is a pretty poor show IMHO and feel that If I was in his position I would be telling P6 owners to shove it.
But he is such a nice guy, in little over a week I have my rollbar, to the drawings he kept from what 2 1/2 years ago ?

And if its too mighty I'll try a thinner one.
Will fit this weekend to a bone stock car and test.
The photo of cobraboy's new bar is not like your drawing though Stan, and I'm guessing not machined in the same way to the sample bar Tim and Gavin now have? Was that offset machined, I remember not so? More like Mal And Classeparts bars?

Hi,When I took my drawing to discuss with Steve, he came up with the proposal to have only 2 of the flats extended longitudinally for clearance and the sample bar was machined thus.
Well done,
That's a good result and reasonably priced.
Whew its been a long time in the incubator for you Northern Hemisphere-ers.
Ive been going around and around and around on roundabouts for years now. At least three circuits for every entry.
I do put my hazard lights on as a warning to other motorists.
Been chased but never caught!
I just can't get the smile off my face.
