Roll bar pad options?

[sleepycruiser]

I have some roll bar pads on my roll bars right now, but not on my front vertical bars and I need some padding on those as they shake a little and rattle into the doors bc they are very close. I don’t want the pool noodle thickness, but what other options are out there? I haven’t found any like the ones I currently have…which are minimal padding.

If your door are rattling that much it might be time to replace the hinge bushings, weather seal, or adjust catch.

I can't think of the name, but somebody on here makes replicas of the originals that are pretty nice

Cut it to fit around your tubes. Secure it by wrapping in open spiral paracord top to bottom and then back to the top. Maybe a zip tie at the top and bottom or cord locks. You could do like a double stick tape at the seam for a butt joint; or overlap say 1/2" to 1" and put the fat joint either hidden or to make a better fit at the door.

Wax the rod first to help prevent rust.

The stock roll bar is behind the door. Believe the OP has a roll cage and rubbing on the front. Possibly 74 or earlier. The two piece doors flex more than 75 and later one piece doors.

This is correct. Mine is a 1964.

We need pics, a 64 didn't come with a rollbar.

A few pics on page one on the thread in my signature and a few on page two as well showing them without the doors on.

That's either an aftermarket or custom made rollbar. I guess it's rattling at the A pillar and the frt part of the door?

Correct. Since these things drive like bricks on wheels the roll bar is slightly hitting the door and rattling. I might try some foam wrap to see if that helps a little.

Could adjust the hinges out and beef up the door seal. Then add the brass bushing in the door half the hinges. Can't remember if the early hinges had the nylon bushing. Believe those were added later.
