Chrome plated roll bars have not been allowed to be installed since prior to helmet bars being installed. Does your car have 1" diameter helmet bars?
I think the ruling on chrome roll cages is you cannot do it any more so the older cars with them are OK..... I think

Interesting are those bars chrome also? Or did they grind chrome off to weld the helmet bars on?
