Not sure if the exact info you're looking for is in the manual, but the this should help - the windscreen and the roll-bars are made of high strength steel for roll-over protection.

I doubt that diagram will mean anything to the tech inspector. Depending on the club & track, most clubs (PCA, ACCA, BMWCCA, ChinMS, PBOC) & tracks use an accepted practice of the broomstick test - put a broomstick across top of windshield to the top of roll-bar. With your helmet on & seated in the car, your helmet must clear (not touch) the broomstick. You can do this at home just to see if you will pass or not - adjust the seat to lowest position to help. People with long torso may need the extension bar.

BTW, I've only see that roll-over protection question asked in a tech inspection form (a checkbox for roll-bar/roll-over protection). Most garages that sign-off tech inspection forms, and know something about our cars, will check the box saying you have roll-over protection. Then, the broomstick test gets applied at the on-track inspection - where they check your helmet, torqued wheels and broomstick. HTH.
