If you can't find any (& as I see there have been no answers yet), you might want to try and scratch-build the roll cage, that way you know for sure it works.

Yep, what he said. For most of us a roll cage is just some Evergreen or Plastruct tubing. In most cases, what model kits include as roll cages (for non-race cars) in no way resembles what a real builder would put in his car. So scratching one is your best bet and good experience for more scratch building down the line.

If you (or anyone else) decides to scratch-build a rollbar,get a contour copier. It's a device/tool that looks like a bunch of wires bound together and as you push it against a shape,you get a profile of the positive and negative of that shape.They don't cost much,usually less than $10-15.They also come in handy for keeping things symmetrical .
