hey thanks man ill see if i can get that done but in the mean time if anybody has a pic handy feel free to post and save spohn the toruble.,..thanks
I have a 6-point roll cage installed (just doesn't have the extra peices on the mid-section, with no modifications to clear OEM door handles. However, it doesn't interfere much, the door handle gets pushed against the bar about 1/4" deep and leaves an indentation... I'm gonna get ne door handles eventually I guess.
Anyway, I am not positive if this is what they use, but if I were designing a way for them to clear OEM door handles, I would bend the interfering bar at the top end to point at a more downward angle, then use a second peice about two feet down to aim it back at it's original mounting place... it would also be easier to get into the car.

The kind I am talking about have been used before, a buddy of mine has it on his pro street '84 T/A, he says the tracks do frown upon it, but it is still legal. But I do not know the regulations myself, so I am not positive on if it is legal or not.
