Until everything gets transferred to the new tread - the MSNZ Historic regulations for roll bar height is 50mm above the helmet - not 100mm - Appendix Six, Schedule AA 4.4 (3) (c) "Open Vehicles - the height of the main rollbar should be at least 50mm above the top of the helmet of the normally seated vehicle occupant".
The question is what is a "normally seated vehicle occupant"? A driver who is 5' 2" tall or one who is 6' 2" tall? Do you need to rebuilt the height of the rollbar every time a different sized driver gets in? Or do you build one for an average sized person (say 5' 9") and leave it at that?

Sorry Roger, don't know where my roll bar maker got the 100!
In regards "normally seated occupant" I would think that is very simple, it does not say "A" ... it says "the", so legal argument should it ever come to that would say is this "the" occupant right now, end of discussion I would believe.
