I think early LX doors dont have intrusion bars but UC do.

Early LX hatches didn't have the intrusion bars. My 2/76 didn't, but the donor 12/77 LX hatch doors did.

My early (5/76) has them... but its a bit mixed and matched anyway.... So might have later model ones on them!

Should only really be the first few months that went without... I don't have specific dates but I think most LXs had them. Obviously didn't matter if it was a hatch or sedan because the ADR would have come in at the same time.

I thought they all had them?

ADR was 75', hatches built '76. :dontknow:

But i see some guys have '75 built hatches.

I have a spare set of hatch doors that don't have intrusion bars. Came from a 76 but I don't remember the month.
I was going to use them on the UC. Are intrusion bars (or lack of) something that is likely to be picked up by the transport mob?

I know of one case locally where a torana failed inspection because of no intrusion bars.

Is it likely?.... No
Is it possible... Yes.

Hmm, I might try my luck with the LX doors ( they are in much better nick). If they fail, I'll just whack the UC ones back on..... Just to pass rego

Pretty hard for someone to tell unless you have been in an incident where the intrusion bars have been tested (sometimes in a crashed torana you can see the outlines of the intrusion bars hahahhaha)
