Hi
where is the best place to mount a bolt in roll bar ?
Do the bars get in the way of your head :)
I have been in some other cars and you hit your head (OUCH) on the roll bar if you are driving on a rough road,
it even had the rubber foam cover on it
Any ideas or pictures /
thanks

The further back you put it the less likely you will hit your head on a bumpy road, but the more likely the roof will collapse and hit your head in a rollover.
Maybe that's why people use cages. He's a link to a sketch for one for a Fiat Punto

thanks I saw that , but it really does not show where it mounts to ,
I would think on the back parcel tray where the big bolts come thru would be the strongest place,
but then where for the hoop over your head ?
I think a full cage is more than I want to do :)

I do rollcages this way. It is designed for our racing regulations. I think that the main console is more in rear that OMP rollcage for example because i am little bit taller so i dont want to hits to my head. But the main thing is... if you have rollcages in your car you have to use helmet.
