    Hi guys

    I really need some information or pictures about this from you please.
    I build my rollbar by myself just by making a wood dummy and then
    had it bend by that in a shop.
    But what i don´t know is the exact position of the two tubes that go to the
    back on near the wheelhouse. Has anybody of you some pctures of his car
    with a rollbar installed but without the shelf in the back so i can see the
    area where it is welded in the car? This would be sooo great!!!!
    Here are some pictures of mine. All just spot welded and will be finished later.

    Jerry, the only thing I see is that you may run into an issue with the width of your bar.

    In other words if your bar sits directly in front of your wheel tubs then your rear support will also be very close if not touching your wheel tubs.

    This is only a problem if you don't want the rear supports going through your fiberglass side panels.

    But then again they may have to be that wide to clear the over-ride bars.

    Hi racingdivision

    I did not understand what you meant by this:

    In other words if your bar sits directly in front of your wheel tubs then your rear support will also be very close if not touching your wheel tubs. :confused:

    What do you see what is not correct?
    Thanks Jerry

    Not necessarily, since i don't have my car and bar directly in front of me it is hard to tell.

    Maybe there are others reading that have shots of their cars minus the interior panels.

    back tubes in. Is this what you wanted to say?
