Does anyone make a pre-bent through the package tray down leg for a B body roll bar?

Wanting to change the 8 point bar in my Coronet to go through the package tray so I can put the seat back in and make it look more like a real car. I have a stock car guy who I trust to do it but he doesn't have a pipe bender. Google also isn't finding me pre made pipes. I can probably find someone around back home who can bend pipe but it'll be simpler for me if I can just drop ship the pipes to him.

Call s and w and ask for 68 b body bars that go through the package tray. They sell them both ways.

Do you have the part # for the jegs kit? I don't see one that has this style? And thanks for the tip on S&W.

Maybe Competition engineering
C3127 for 68-74 RR/B-body 8 pt rollbar

or ? C3000, may just be the main hoop/bar

I saved them a long time ago

I can't remember which is which or the costs

good luck

Nothing you buy pre-bent is going to impress you, fit-wise. Every time I see a bar with the rears in that pre-bent shape that doesn’t follow anything in the car it makes me cringe. You’re going to have to look at it EVERY TIME YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR.... Do it right. Make a template of the angle / shape in cardboard. then take the kit bars to someone that has a mandrel bender and mimic the template. I had mine custom bent, it fits the roof / rear window really tight. The only regret I have is that they fit so tight that I can’t get a spray gun back there to touch up the scratches I put in it at install.

My main hoop is from an Art Morrison Kit. I was pretty happy with how it fit the roof and side-glass lines. I installed it at the same angle as the seam in the front to rear side glass, so it follows the lines of the car as well as I could have hoped for. I’d buy from them again in a heartbeat.

I found out that almost any muffler shop can bend roll bar tubes, and cheap usually.
