Where to buy Roll Cage Padding - Pipe Wrap 2" ID (1 Viewer)

[cvan1971man]

I am looking for the best place to buy 2"ID pipe wrap. I found it at the local plumbing supply for $10 per 6 feet.

if there is a better place to look, i am all ears.

Nothing looks better than OEM! See if you can source some OEM pads. The tape and rubber look leaves something to be desired.

I agree regarding OEM, but We put in an aftermarket full roll cage from Metaltech

Do not use pipe insulation. It is not designed for that. Look for roll bar padding from Summit or Speedway.

I use these in my FJ45 then cover them with SOR wrappings where needed. BSCI Roll Bar Padding - Dual Durometer SFI 45.1 - https://store.windingroad.com/bsci-roll-bar-padding-dual-durometer-sfi-45-1

I've always used "Armaflex" industrial pipe insulation, available at wholesale commercial plumbing or industrial PVF distributors. Its foam is much more flexible, durable and is thicker than the "pool noodle-like" crap sold for pipe insulation, at Lowes, Home Depot or other local big box hardware outlets.

Is the back roll bar hoop you have a custom bent hoop or did you source a front hoop and repurpose in the back? I like it and want to do something similar.

Yes you are correct - it is a sourced OEM hoop with the shoulder belt mounting brackets cut off. A piece of pipe on each side joins them using sourced connecting brackets. They are tied into a front hoop to make a full cage. Built by FJ40Jim.

For the bars that have limited clearance on one side you will probably want a product like these.
