Main hoop measurments request
Can somebody who is using a Competition Engineering main hoop measure the center to center distance of the hoop where it is attached to the floor? I'm looking for a main hoop that runs as close as possible to the body on the inside (as wide as possible), so if anyone has any recommendations for the tightest bar, I'd appreciate it!

From Competition Engineering:
(I asked for outside to outside dimensions)
Our main hoop measures 34" wide at the head liner, 56" wide at shoulder
height, and 54" wide at the floor pan.
Good luck with your project,

the only way I know to get one that fits really tight to the body is to custom build. THe mass produced pieces are designed for the average, decent mechanic to be able to install. They have to allow for it to fit through the door passages/rear hatch/etc..... I built my own, but with the vert, if it's not perfectly sized, it looks like crap when the top is down.
