Roll bar horizontal and stays
Picking up 5m of erw tube to complete my roll bar horizontal and stays ..its 38.1mm OD i want to run the rear stays to the lower rear corners and weld them to 100mm x 100 x 3mm plates bolted to plates welded to the tub corners...if that makes sense ...that would give me 16 bolts and allow the roll bar to be removed....my only concern is getting a decent weld between the thin CDS tubing and my roll bar mounting plates...has anybody got any advice ...or even better piccys....sure i have seen this done on one of the many build diarys i have read somewhere !!!

Did the same as H A and cut holes in the top and lower mounting plates to sit the tube through and weld inside and out.

Little tip form lots of experience with roll bars.
what ever you do, make sure you weld the cross bar in before you weld the main rollbar to the mounting plates. if you weld the bar to the plates then weld the cross bar it will pull in and the holes on the plates wont line up with the chassis.
