I assume you are referring to the roll bar mount? I do have photos but will need to dig into my "files" to find them. Be assured despite whatever someone may have told you, the outer bar leg does not mount to "air".

And consider the full width bar as an alternative to the dual bars if you are really concerned with the structural integrity of the bar. It looks the part and is very stout.

Are all 3 legs of the Superformance roll bar bolted to the frame? That article suggest that the outboard leg is just slipped over a round metal stub with just a rivet in place to keep it from creaking. That can't be right.

All of the roll bar legs attach to the frame. The outboard leg does have a rivet to hold it down in the receptacle that it mounts to. We do install a through bolt for anyone that requires it. It is a matter of "upgrade".....all brands have it.

I would say that would be a good upgrade. Patrickt, how is the ERA rollbar mounted? I'm a bit worried if it's also a slip fit. If so, I want to modify it to make sure it's properly fastened with good quality hardware.

I don't mean to imply is is mounted in air? I just want to know if it is mounted to the main frame rail or something mounted to side of the main frame rail?
