If you have the means to do it,cut a hole in the roll bar plates and put roll bar through it and weld it,it will pull like a bast*rd when you do weld it

like the main bar will pull towards the centre
and surley welding it to a flat plate would be better than a plate with a big hole
not really sure what you mean

Put the tube partially into the central hole you make in the middle and weld both sides,much stronger.

Put at least 10 mm bolts through roll bar mounts and not book nuts and bolts,domed plated 12.9 cap screws look much better.

Just a suggestion and personally I am happier with it.

Westfield use one bolt through the base of the tube !!!!
