Which type of roll bar are you trying to install?

Yes, an image of said roll bar and captive bolts will be very helpful :wink:
Some of us have had experience with most of the roll bars out there :mrgreen:

LOL ok ok :P

What I meant was that some of us have installed almost every kind of roll bar or bolt-in roll cage there is for the MX5.

As for experience of the inverted kind... God, I hope I never have that :mrgreen:
Although, that makes for a interesting argument if they actually work in the case of a roll over...hmmm COW?
