Default How To Mount Factory Five Roll Bar In Arntz

Since I couldn't find an Arntz roll bar, I bought a black powder coated Factory Five Roll Bar and need to know about where to mount it on my Arntz.

Measurements would be helpful, where to cut the 1.50" holes in the body, etc. (Distance from the center of the rear quarter and distance from
the curved section of the body behind the seats)

I know I'll have to build something on the frame to mount the bottom of the bars.


Thanks,

Jim

Has anyone ever mounted a FFR roll bar in an Arntz?

Maybe not.

My approach would be to measure from the frame to where the roll bar will pass though the fiberglass.
Next measure up the roll bar the same distance. Make a mark. Do this on all three legs.

Now take a piece of heavy paper (poster board) and make a template of the three legs. You can cut it up and tape it back together.

Now lay the template onto the car where the roll bar will be.
Mark the holes and drill the center with a 1/4" bit. This will give you room for error.
Use something like a wire off of a politician sign for a straight edge. Check your layout. If ok, cut holes with a hole saw or Dremel tool. The third leg will be egg shaped. Start small with the holes and you can enlarge if necessary.

I'm not good with the English language (or any language) but I hope this will give you an idea how to tackle the project.

Thanks,

That's good advice.

Got the roll bar mounted and it's removable for painting the car.
