I haven't ever seen one in the flesh, but I thought the door already had a hole or mark for them?

I have only seen this one impact bar
but nope no holes as standard  :sad:

the Giveaway to haveing one fitted will be the 2 inch'ish gromet at the catch end of the door

So I'd assume it was an option since the bar is soo rare
the bar I have is from an 86/87 D plate 8 valve

I can put a pic of the bar up but it's only a bar with a bolt in either end

I've got impact bars on mine, I'd be happy to take some measurements for you.
Perhaps you could post a pic of exactly what you want measured???
