Can't help you on finding the roll bar, but it is my understanding, and should be confirmed visually, that the Touring is lower than the normal 02. (does that make us "abnormal")

Just a 1 pc RB?..a good race/fab shop could do it.

Unladen height of saloon = 55.5"

Unladen height of touring = 54.3"

thanks for clearing that up for me . the person who i got the car of told me it was the other way around so thats why i got it wrong . so looks like i will have to get one made just for my car . would it be better to get one welded in ? I will never use the back seats againe so access will not be an issue .

The difference in height is all in the roof skin - the gutters are at the same height, but the saloon has a curved roof skin whilst the Touring is a lot flatter. Weld it in, and if you're not using the back seats make sure it's properly cross braced - the Touring shell needs Viagra if you're planning on stiffening up the suspension and increasing the HP.
