Want to personally thank you for the details on the reinforcing plates. I know the subpan is thin, but felt that failure wouldnt happen to me:crap: BTW, Added your link to the front page in bold
Also, want to thank delongedoug for the plate dwg.

I had a fab shop cut the plates today ($6.00 LOL) & bend in the angle. I did not remove the roll bar, just unbolted both the feet & the rear posts. It was a bit of a PITA, but I managed to raise the feet & install the plates (PM me for details if needed)

Went w/ .125" plates. (.250" plates overkill IMO. Even w/ the .125 plates, the main hoop bar is super tight into the ceiling liner.) Very pleased w/the install{thumbup} No way those feet will blow through the pan!

^^^Looks like your bar is part of a full bolt-in cage vs just the roll bar. Can you confirm?

The center bar is hooped around the drivers seat & straight behind the passenger seat

Just an observation.

Great looking EVO for sure

its a autopower cage... so everything is welded together except the two bars that go to the rear wheel wells. not sure if this answers your question.

Solenoid Feb 12, 2013 09:36 AM

^^^Just to confirm. Is it the cage or roll bar? If its the cage, you dont have the fwd bars installed into the front seat compartment (Am I correct?)

Appreciate your help on this as I have not bought my roll bar yet

EDIT: Look at this pic. You can see the difference between the cage & the roll bar. The cage has a hooped bar just behind the rear of the drivers seat. The roll bar is hooped around both seats

Thanks, Mike

It looks to me like just a roll bar.

If you look at your pic the roll bar on the left had a removable cross bar. The cage is welded and that is why it's different. You can order the roll bar with a few options. One being the removable cross bar. (which comes in handy sometimes)

Blah, this thread makes me want one soooo bad.

I know my son would be heart broken to not be able to ride in the car with me tho. :(

In time.

Solenoid Feb 12, 2013 01:05 PM

^^^Look at this photo. You can clearly see the single horizontal hoop behind the drivers seat. The passenger side is straight. The pic matches the roll cage & not the roll bar. Anyway, no big deal. I just saw the difference & wanted to see if the OP to clear it up.
