contemparory roll bar install

[FatBoy]

It is a Contemporary. It has the correct height roll-bar rather than the shorter CC alternative. I didn't like the way that the main roll-bar legs disappeared behind the rear bulkhead once they went through the body, so I cut the entire section out of the bulk out above the boot (trunk) floor and about 1½" outside the boot sides and repositioned it about 2" further back. This allowed the roll-bar legs to be visible in front of the rear bulkhead. See below:

It did mean that there was a 2" shelf about halfway down the bulkhead, but this was only visible between the seats and once fully carpeted, isn't really noticeable.
I don't think I have any pictures of the assembly of the roll bar, but from what I recall, the procedure was to insert the main hoop, but not fully and also the two part rear stay, and slowly ease the main hoop down whilst persuading the two sections together. My fabricated rear bracket was just a sliding fit over the rear stay. But it obviously had to be slid onto the rear stay before the roll-bar was installed. Once it was all in place, the cross-bolt was then drilled.
The end result looks pretty convincing IMO
