Firstly. If this is a stupid question I applogise. I dont currently own a DeLorean but hope to soon.

After reading recent posts about the torsion bar breaking I started thinking if this could happen while in the car and penetrate the interior thus hitting the driver/passenger. As I said this may be a very stupid question but I dont know how the torsion bar operates or how it is fitted.


If you look at the following link,

http://www.usadmc.com/dmcstore/ViewDir.asp?PageID=92&PageCat=8%2DFrame+and+Body

you'll see the torsion bar sits at the top of the door long ways. (from the front windshield to the back windshield). I was too lazy to dig up a real picture. If they snap, they are going to untwist so I dont think they are going to go thru the T roofing panel. As far as i'm aware, the passenger side bar still exists but the driver side one is no longer available from the various vendors. The ones that are left would have to be taken out of a current car.

Thanks.

Paul.

ps: on a general note. What does the term flaming mean when used about responding to posts.

Usually responding in such a way that either your temper or someone else's temper "goes off" so you end up in a yelling match.
