The tank theoretically can be modified with just a hammer to clear a bar post. The issue really as I see it is that you are talking about a 40 year old galvanized steel tank. You really can't weld on it because of the volatility of gas remnants in the tank and there likely is rust or corrosion you will knock loose from the joint in the tanks assembly structure.

The time for me to have done that is when I had the driveline and the tank out. I didn't have the bar at that time and simply stated, I didn't think of it yet.

Personally I am convinced that is the place to put the bar and tie it to the roof structure at that time.

Several people have built a cage leaving the rear window in place and drilling through the glass with a glass bit and bolting it to forward running braces.

I don't want anything in the cabin. It's too tight as it is. All I need is the bar and for me it would work in the engine compartment. Easy to say until you try to do it.
Tjarda was a magician with this car. He fit a lot into very little space without the use of an autocad software program.

I'm thinking that the roll bar in the engine compartment might have to be in two pieces to get it in because of the inner rear tubs?

I don't think anyone minds hi-jacking a thread that has run it's course in one subject and stimulated another that so many are interested in BUT that is the job of the moderator and he could split the thread and move this part to a roll bar thread if thought necessary.

I'm sure George is following this with interest also?
