well we weld the base plates on so i cant see welding in pre formed bends is going to be an issue.
yes its not going to be as strong but it will only be as strong as its weakest point.
as for iva its the seat belts that the mans looking at if thay are fitted directly to the chassis then theres no issue

Where the rear diagonals go to the chassis my intention is to use two bolts with nylock nuts or castle nuts with split pins as we do in work, or another thought is to wire lock the nuts. Seatbelt mounts will be welded collars passing through the crossmount of the rollbar and fully welded top and bottom

On the subject of roll bars does this appeal as a design?

I have been playing with a few others ideas how ever the fish mouths/notches could be a pain to make.

Love that one mate. Im still in the market for a rollbar so might have to get in touch. As im looking for one thats not too wide. I hate the boxy looking ones and would much prefer to go for a sleak one.

But would that be ok for the harness? as would think it might rub against the welds.
