Hard Dog M2 Sport - Black Powdercoat

The Hard Bar Sport uses the same main hoop as the Hard Bar but with the addition of larger bolt-in main hoop mounting plates and rear braces that mount to the structural framework inside the rear wheel wells.  It is nearly identical to the M2 Hard Core Hardtop but has less standard features and uses proprietary drawn over mandrel 1026 alloy 1.5” od X .120” wall.

The M2 Sport models fit all Miata chassis from 1990- 2005. Specifically designed for the 2nd generation Mazda glass rear window convertible tops or equivalent size glass window installed on a 1st generation Miata. The M2 Sport is also compatible with all flexible plastic rear window tops.  See FAQ for details.

One or two main hoop diagonal braces and/or harness attachment tabs may be added.

Compatible with stock seat belts.

This is the bar we recommend for a Miata that sees mostly street use but still meets SCCA Time Trial and NASA HPDE safety requirements when equipped with diagonal bracing. It does allow use of the Mazda Hardtop with stock latches.

Features include:

• Legal for SCCA Time Trials and NASA HPDE Events when equipped with at least one diagonal brace.

• Allows full seat travel and tilt

• Compatible with stock seat belts

• Full interior height and width; farther to the rear than the hard core allowing better head clearance

• Complete use of hardtop and soft top

• Durable powdercoat finish 

• Constructed of highest quality tubing 1.5" diam x .120" wall

• Laser cut 3/16" mounting plates

• Complete hardware kit w/ grade 8 bolts and instructions

Use measurements above to measure fightment in relation to driver. The Sport and Hard Core Hardtop are slightly shorter and sit farther back than the Hard Core.  The Ace is slightly shorter still but sits the farthest back. 

What are harness tabs? 

The biggest question we get regarding this roll bar is how is it different than the Hard Bar Sport. The M2 Sport bar utilizes optional harness tabs instead of a harness bar.  This allows clearance for the soft top glass rear window.  We offer forged eye-bolts and harness clip-ins to utilize the harness tabs with a multi-point race harness.  At right you can see the harness tab in use.  They are located behind the seats and just below the rear deck.  

**Certain seat configurations in Miata models '01+ may cause the seat to come into contact with the bar. While the headrest may touch the bar, this does not limit seat travel.
