Autopower race 4pt. rollbar

I am having my rollbar modified and I need specifics regarding the construction.
Can anyone tell me the outside diameter, wall thickness and whether it's chrome- moly or moly-steel? Thanks!

It's the race roll bar located here:

I found my answer guys, for anyone needing the info:
1 3/4 outside diameter
dom mild steel
120 thousandths wall thickness.

My fabricator told me this is illegal for racing as the wall thickness must be 134.
I do not plan to do any racing so that works for me.

I'm not trying to be a dick but what's the point of putting this cage in your car if you cant/don't intend to use it for racing?

May be hes doing it for HPDE use? If not, then I don't recommend it for a strictly DD car either.

I am a DE instructor with NASA and the northeast BMW clubs. It's for my own safety.
It is basically my track **** and not a DD.

i would highly recommend making it to hyperfest at summit point. But VIR should be a must for anyone on the east coast. I would recommend the July event. Although hot, they also have the GRM Ultimate Track Car Challenge that weekend. I typically work Grid and sometimes the Tech shed for NASA MA, so come on down, we are a friendly bunch.
