That was the same delima I was dealing with when I did it. I just had to pick a direction and bite the bullet.
BTW, I had the interior shop wok around the roll bar but I went and removed it for interior instillation. To start I won't have the front roll bar section in the car. I figure being a new car and having tuning and such to to do, it will be a while before I will need it.
The guy doing the interior still needed to work around it. For instance, on the front side bars I moved the door handle:
I'm thinking WHY does the front leg NEED to project forward into the cabin?
Why can't there be another bar under the windshield header panel that goes no further?
It could be bolted into the pillar post with a welded on tab no?
The problem is the cabin is so exact (a kind way of not insulting Tjarda and saying it's "tight") and even just 1-1/2" diameter tubes take up too much space.
Even in the engine compartment, why can't the dog legs to the tubs just bolt up to plates at the hinge mount, OR, OR, OR, ooo, ooo, I know, attach to a cross member that is bolted to the hinges? Huh, huh, huh?
See. This is what I mean about where does it stop?
I just want to re-visit the simple hoop again behind the seats. Maybe add tabs to the seat belt mount bolts and attach it to the roof assembly as simply as possible?
I like what Comp2 did with the extra horizontal bar that will now also be for the shoulder harness. That can have tabs to bolt to the original harness mount.
It's like Yogi said, "this is just like Deja vu all over again?" I can clearly see he is the smartest man I ever heard of?
I sold my tubing bender too swearing I was done with that? OH, make it all stop?
