Default kirk/autopower roll cage owners

My 4 point doesnt seem to be the correct one for my EF civic. Where are the landings for the roll hoop supposed to sit?
I cant find a proper posistion that allow the curved feet to sit flush on the ground, and make the two rear landings line up with the back of the car

pics and info would be greatly appreciated

Agreed, 'cause I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. What do you mean my "landings" and "curved feet?"

Also, you didn't tell us what type of roll bar you have.

sorry
landings meaning the points at which the roll cage connect to the frame of the car
rollcage is a kirk racing 4 point

curved feet mean that the feet of the rollcage actually are not flat, they are bend and curved to contour to the ground, yet those contours do not match with the ground

I had a si ilar problem wiht a Kirk bolt in for my 89 hatch. I tried three times to get the rear braces to straddle the frame but never could. Finally welded them in. I ran into the guys from Kirk at a NASA race weekend and showed them this but not sure it ever had an effect.

Did you specifically tell them you had a 91 hatch?

I wonder if you just told them 91 EF they assumed its a CRX. Just a guess here.

Travis could you post where your rear legs mount on you cage?

Thanks

This is the only up-to-date pic I have of where the rear supports mount in the CRX. You can kind of see the left rear mounting point:



And here is where they mounted in the ITR:
