    Default 8pt. Roll bar

    We're installing an 8pt. Bar in our 96 Camaro. Could you guys post some pics of your installations? Mostly interested in how you located the bottom of the main hoop. Thanks.

    I have a 6-point (lateral deflection is control by an "X" between the two rear braces). Would a shot of the side of the hoop help? It just disappears into the floor/carpet, where it's welded. They were supposed to carry it down to the subframe, but there's no way to tell if they did.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Injuneer a side shot would help, it almost seems on ours we have to lean the main hoop back. I saw pics of one that had a bend in the hoop, leaning back at the bottom then bent to be vertical above the tops of the doors.
    JPack is yours like that ? It's hard to tell from the pic.
    Do either of your door bars have a bend in them to clear the armrests?
    Thanks again. Jeff

    The bottom of the main kicks back and then goes straight above the center cross bar. The door bars kick in to miss the arm rests and then straight to the floor.

    Maybe this will help showing angle better.

    Thanks for the pic Jim. Yours is a bolt in bar so your main hoop is attached down on the flat part of the floor?

    Yes it is down through the flat. Front is through my subframe connectors. It is plated under and over on the flat on the hoop. Same with the rear back bars.
