I just picked up an AutoPower roll cage for my car from a fellow who never installed it. Just wondering if anyone here has used on of these before. It has the rear hoop w/cross bar, angled door bars, a section that runs around the top and front of the doors, and another bar tying them together across the top edge of the windshield.
It's supposed to be a bolt-in and has plates for the attachment to the chassis, but all the parts have these tubes to fit over each joint were the different parts come together. Do I need to weld these? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) Maybe I'm just having a major brain fart but I don't see how else it goes together.

I have the same bar, mine was welded and I had to cut it out to remove it. I have thought about reinstalling it at some time, When I cut through the side bars to remove it, I was surprised to find it was under alot of tension. I will bolt mine together again instead of weld so it can be removed when its not needed.
