How to install a 4pt roll cage in a vert, and maintain your interior.

I installed this 4 point roll bar made by Hotline over here in Los Angeles. I wanted to keep my interior. Here are some pictures. Hope they help get the idea across.Made some marks where I eyeballed it to be, and cut a little over 2 inches in. Made it easier since I had already cut it for access to the suspension.

Cut it just behind the Seat belt, and down the front. And to install it used Zip Ties to make it one piece again. I don't notice any rattles, but the car is pretty stiff so I probably wouldn't. There might be a better way to re-join these 2 pieces, but zipties were plentiful. Any other Suggestions let me know.

Also You can cut the seat Belt mount cover to keep it on there. Just cut the entire side off. I tried to notch the driver side, and ended up cracking the whole thing.








Anyways. I am very happy with the over all outcome of the interior so far. Im gonna need a steering wheel next.

Diagonal doesn't look right. It should meet where the rear upright meets the main hoop. Minor detail but it does make for a more complicated weld joint, so I see why they did what they did. All in all, it does look good. Does that include doubler plates and hardware?

I can Measure tomorrow. As I had to cut the boot to allow it to fit around the 2 bars.

I Bought the cage fromHotline. It came with all the hardware, and plates needed for the install. Fit like a glove. Super easy install. He offers a couple different variations of it. Just the roll bar, 4pt cage, and the 4pt with harness bar which is what I picked up. PM J.T.P. for more info on the cage.
