it fits in the car where is supposed to, but it's just touching the headliner. like it's not crushing the headliner. i just think it might be better if there was like a half inch gap or so. this is the first cage i've done. it's a competition engineering main hoop so i don't know if i should cut it off or not.
i never installed a roll bar before.
you could cut the bottom of the main hoop an inch or so off and reweld the plates on them.
that would help clearence. or you could leave it the way it is. or make a custom headliner.
My hoop is tight against the headliner, maybe 1/4" gap at the most. You want it to fit as high as possible inside the car. And since you'll be doing welding to the top of the hoop for the back bars....why is the headliner in the car anyways?

im thinking of a roll bar myself, more for looks purpose though, cuz i dont really need one but i like the look of them. whats a good fitting roll bar kit? ive seen the ones on like jegs and summit but do they fit ok?
i have a comp. eng. 8pt and the directions said you need to cut it to size. i couldnt even get mine to stand straight up in position because it was to tall.
you want the bars as high as you can get them and still get the trim and head liner back in, you need to have the bar above your helmet sitting in the seat. I custom made this cage, and it is close, about as close as you can get and still weld it
good deal. that last pic is exactally how mine fits.
mine is a comp. eng. bar too, but i just boght the hoop and i made the strut kit myself. they wanted like $150 for it from summit ans the local steel yard charged me $31 for a 20 foot bar.
