Mine were bolted at the chassis end and went through ok, they were an m14 thread though

If you mean completely removeable, as in from the roll bar and chassis im not sure, i know its not a requirement to have a roll bar for iva but they get alot of attention if your harnesses are mounted to them.

Hi Mark,what I meant was fully removeable ie bracket and tube and bolted through the tube and bracket welded to roll bar and bracket on rear tub panel GRP bars.

Make sense ?

Mine is as you described Paul, as long as the fixings are strong enough to transfer the load of the harness brackets you should be fine.

Yes I mean completely removeable as in using shocker brackets welded to roll bar and grp tub mounting at rear along with suitable re-inforcing at the chassis end and a crush tube or the like welded across some 33.7 tube for the rear stays.

What do you reckon ?


Basically because I cant be bothered to fart about making the fishmouths to the tube ends,and also I have used 14mm bolts and will probably use cap screws in the end.

Flyerncle that sounds a lot more effort than doing 2 fishmouths for the rear uprights, you can use a fishmouth calculator which allows you to print off the profile and stick it to the tube which you then cut around. Or you could use a hole saw and a jig and have a perfect cut every time.
