8 pt roll bar - where do the other 2 bars go??
Hey guys - i just got an 8pt rollbar notched and ready to be welded from Ken's Kustom Chassis the other day. He said it was self explainatory, but i am still a little confused. here are the pics
test fitting the roll bar
gotta figure out where these go
i know the hoop, the cross bar, the two that go across the seats and the two that go down the back. where should i mount the ones that go to the rear struts and how high up on the hoop should they go? I know everything goes on the plates that came with it. So where do the other two go. I was told from the hoop and cross down to the floor behind the front seats?
Any help or pics is much appreciated
Thanks
Burke

I wouldn't read too much into that picture at all. The 4 point appears to be a road-racing derived bar (albeit without a harness bar), and the one this fella's got looks to be a drag-race bar. These are two relatively different schools of thought.
I find it hard to believe that this thing didn't come with any sort of instructions. Did they send you the tubing with a note that says "Here's some friggin' pipe...YOU figure it out!" (Oh, and good luck.)?
I'd personally call them and see if you can't get a diagram or something out of them.

Re: 8 pt roll bar - where do the other 2 bars go?? (Kataku2K3)
started welding the plates today and DAMN - i eat through the floor with good consitency 
do the plates have to be welded the WHOLE way around or just where they are close to the floor, cause i had to do some filling where the ridges are on the floor?? IN the pic above it just looks like there are weleded where the plate touches the floor board and not filled between.
Thanks for the help guys!!! I really appreciate it!!
