    Hi guys

    Body work will be finished soon and i allready wonder how the rollbar
    is mounted in the car?!
    Due to high shipping costs i built my rollbar by myself but now i will
    have a few problems.
    First: Is the rollbar set in straight up or does it lean slightly to the back?
    Second: Were do the two tubes that hold the main rollbar set in the car?
    Are they exactly above the rear end???
    Third: What is the distance between the top of the bar and the horizontal bar behind the seat wich goes from left to right??

    Here are two pictures of my rollbar and how i built it.
    I´m very greatful for informations.
    Thanks alot
    Jerry

    Here are a few photos, one of roll bar with override bars while the others are overrides without roll bar but brake scoops just in case you are planning to install them.

    Also noticed that your bar pitches out away from where the bar will come out of the top of the interior panel so when you try to place it you may have to cut away too much of the panel to install it. This may require you to rearch the bar you have.

    Hi

    Thanks for the pictures.
    Becaus of the shape of the rollbar i´m still able to pull it apart on the top
    its not welded yet then i might be better on the sides if thats what you meant. Do you know how big the gap should be here?? See picture.

    Thanks Jerry

    I know it will need to be closer in the areas you circled. You may need to use something more flexible to form you a pattern. Place the interior panel back and measure the distance that way to ensure a tight fit.
