However, having read various forum posts and one in particular about some hill climbs insisting on the track roll bars, I decided that while I was in the process of putting one on, I&#8217;d be happier if it was the higher rated one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took a couple of days for Nick to get back with prices and availability but I&#8217;ve ordered the new roll bar and will see if I can sell the original one. Caterham had one in stock and Williams are due a large delivery this week that the order can be added to. Should arrive before the end of the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The old bar does look at little flimsy in comparison to the track one, but I&#8217;m sure is fine in almost all situations, but I&#8217;ll feel happier with the uprated one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-475\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-attachment-id=\"475\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/08\/22\/telephone-call-2-williams-track-roll-over-bar\/fia-rollover-bar\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"FIA Rollover Bar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar.jpg 640w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FIA-Rollover-Bar-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Track Roll Bar (courtesy of the Caterham web site)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-476\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-attachment-id=\"476\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/index.php\/2017\/08\/22\/telephone-call-2-williams-track-roll-over-bar\/standard-rollover-bar\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Standard Rollover Bar\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar.jpg 640w, https:\/\/purplemeanie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Standard-Rollover-Bar-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Standard Roll Bar (courtesy of the Caterham web site)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first task today was a simple one &#8211; a call to Nick the parts guy at Williams Automobiles.
