Default Roll Bar Question

I really like the look of the Hurricane body (looks a lot like an ERA or CSX) and I like the way the roll bar is exposed in the cockpit, but has anyone tried to replicate the angle of the rear brace to match the originals. The Hurricane looks like it drops off too much, and isn't as close to the cockpit area as a CSX or ERA. Have they thought of changing this? Here's some photos of what I'm talking about. It isn't that big a deal, but the Hurricane is so close to being dead nuts on to an original, it would be nice to be able to replicate the roll bar as well. I'm not sure who from here reads the Hurricane Forum on their website, so I posted it here and there.

Here is a Shelby CSX4000


Here is an ERA


Here is a Hurricane (notice the roll bar brace doesn't go as far back. Also the roll bar as a whole is farther away from the back of the cockpit than either the CSX or ERA)
