    Default rollbar padding... SFI?

    Sorry to be a PITA but I don't have real internet other than this Droid... I also no longer get a GCR and for some reason can't find my old one (and can't download onto my phone!) Arrrrgggg.

    Anyway, can anyone post the rules on rollbar padding. I think it changes or was changing to SFI tested but I can't remember. I will need to purchased some very soon.

    PS: with that being said I am looking for several feet of it along with a weld on quick release hub with matching wheel. If anyone sees anything in any classifieds let me know or give them my info. Thanks in advance!

    Found it! Must be SFI 45.1 or FIA approved... details on page 104. I think a bunch of cars will need new padding that had annuals done on 09 that carried them through 2010 like myself...

    If anyone finds some deals post them up, I am sure a few people will need to upgrade!

    You left off the rest of the sentance: .....is recommended.
    (from the GCR with all the updates so it'd better be up to date)

    That said I use the SFI padding anywhere my head can hit, and the pool noodle type everywhere else.

    Not only is it up to date, but that part of the GCR hasn't changed since 2008. It does help if people actually read (all of) what is written.

    Just get the SFI (or SFI-like stuff). It is hard for a reason--it works.

    Pipe insulation is for plumbing--not roll cages.

    But it looks sexy when placed all over the car.. You know, kind of like a REAL race car....

    Stephen, we have several sticks of leftover SFI padding left over from the Integra build. Contact Jeremy if you'd like to snag some. - GA
