    I found a roll bar with the measurements 56 1/2 across x 31 1/2 long x 33 1/2 high. Will that fit in my pre-1975 tub? I measured and the width it seems a little tight but I think it is right. But is the height right? I want to put a soft top on some day. The owner doesn't know the year it came out of.

    Thanks Stalin. So are we guessing this one is 5 1/2" to long and 1" to high if yours is snug or is there room length wise and 1" in height under the top.

    my guess:? , you got a roll bar out of a later model. if the length was 31.5 inches it would not fit in mine. i measured. do you have anyway of setting it in just to try it? the real concern sounds like if you bought a soft top, you'll be furious if you cant get it snapped on. i don't got a top on mine yet. hopefully someone else have some measurements and advice.

    I think the 33 1/2" height is going to be a problem, mine measures about 32 - 32-1/4" and its only about an inch from the soft top.

    Thanks, I'll hold off and pass on this one. I have time I just didn't want to pass up one that fit for $75.00
