Question about the weld points. If I remember correctly, the gas tank is really close to where you welded the center mounts on. Will the tank need to be dropped to do this and repaint the area on the opposite side/underneath of the weld?
Just curious.
Thanks!

Brian,
I realize it wouldn't be as structurally stiff, but wouldn't it be easier to have the studs face down into the floor, then have the customer drill holes in the floor? A lot more people have access to a drill than a MIG welder.
On second thought you did say that the fuel tank was below that area...is there clearance to drop the studs through the floor? Can you even access that area under the car to put nuts on the studs?

Indeed you can't easily access the other side so this idea would not work.Gripper wrote:Brian,

I'm not sure where the PHRT interfers with the full bar but here's a few shots of what the full bar looks like under the RHT.

Brian,
I like the looks of this double-hoop bar, and I'm glad to see it's available in black. (Where does the customer select the color?)
This bar looks sturdy, and the built-in harness bars are nice, too. Can you tell me if this bar is approved by SCCA or NASA for HPDEs?
