Has anyone got an MSA approved ROPS in a MK2 or 2.5?

I'm looking around to see what's available, but the one I've found which is a double-hoop states it is MSA compliant doesn't seem to be compatible with the glass rear window (although they will fit under the roof/hardtop)
e.g.

"Will fit inside hardtop or hood but will only fit with the zip in or plastic window. Will not fit with a glass rear window"

Looks a lot like the Hard Dog Deuce roll bars I have fitted to my Mk2.5. No idea if its MSA approved.

Won't be MSA compliant.
HardDog use 1.75" x 0.120" tubes MSA requires a minimum of 1.75" x 0.995" (for that diameter)

this might do it it is a new bar from TR Lane.

Looks like the spec meets the MSA spec but is not certified by the MSA.

Talk to TR Lane anyway.

there will probably be others knocking about, try some of the MX5 specialists link Blink and Skuzzle

I'll call Tim to confirm, but last I'd heard, that bar fouled the glass window so couldn't be used on a MK2.5 with a folding hood. It fits under the hood, or under a hardtop, but the softop has to be removed rather than dropped.

fair enough. If you could post the answer from Tim back that would be great
