Try International Auto Parts
Vic's
Bruces Part's Bin

They should all be able to sell you a roll bar. Good luck

The street roll bars are pretty much all the same design. Bayless used to have the best deal, but just sold it's inventory to Midwest X1/9

I have an extra roll bar that I'm not going to use. The bar will be cheap, but the shipping will be the big cost. Still over $150 cheaper than the vendors.

here's mine, finally installed. PITA to get in all by yourself, but once in position it's really a matter of drilling some holes and setting some bolts in place.

Looking mighty fine. Love that blue on a sunny day.

Nice roll bar.

With the incredible integrity of the windshield hoop I have always thought it would be easier to hold the car up with a roll bar than just your neck should per chance you not keep it shiny side up. Definitely a good choice to add one.

I have a guy bending me one out of 3" at a muffler shop for $80 if I bring him the measurements. Not the strongest, but looks good and hopefully I'll never put it to the test.

So, when installing a roll bar, should the car be leveled up on jackstands under the hard points before drilling and bolting?
Seeing how the bar does stiffen the car a little. What I'm thinking is, if the mounts don't fit exactly flush with the wheel tubs, shimming would be better than pulling every thing up with the bolts.
