Roll bar stay help please
I have a full single rollbar as per pic below. I would like to make it removable so a tidier one can be made later on and coated or chromed.
The 50mm plastic pipe is easy to work with but will soften in the sun I fear  so I will go metal. That way I just burn my hands.
If you were to cut the rear stays would you go for in internal or external sleeve? Use solid rod or hollow pipe for an internal? Full through bolts or embedded grub/ set screws?
I will make my join just under the rear deck fibreglass because the angled stays will lengthen as the bar is pulled up. The bottom floor plate will be unboltable and free to jiggle while the bar comes up. How much gap can I cut around the stays and be sure a store bought bezel will cover it? Only the rear of the hole needs to be lengthened.
Any suggestions or pics etc are welcome.
And yes, the boot interior is not symetrical. Planning on keeping the boot lid shut mostly.
