Default Wolfe 6 point in vert

I just ordered a wolfe 6 point, notched with swing-outs on both sides for my 2002 SS convertible and i was just wondering if anyone has installed one in a convertible and could tell me how the fix went. Did you have to do any bending or cutting? Did it come ready to install? Any thing I may want to watch for during install?

Will let you know, but roll bar will not be ready for me to pick up for three to four weeks at wolfe. I talked with them about install and they said they couldn't get to it for months. They were backed up.

Probably more like 8 -10 weeks just to ship you the cage, they are really backed up. (took me that long)

I just had a bolt-in with swingouts done, by my friend... It was not easy but then I had sub frame connectors.

I'm wondering if Weld-in is just easier.
Depends on who you know...

Good luck!

I'm picking the roll cage up, not worried about shipping. The first time I talked to them they said 5 to 6 weeks, later that day they said maybe 3 weeks and it will be ready for me to pick up.

My Wolfe 4 point bolt in was extremely easy. Took me and a buddy bout an hour and a half. But then again, mine was only a 4 point, and was in a hardtop car. Took bout 5 weeks to get, everything fit extremly well, very nice product.

Same here, my 4 pnt went in very easy as well. Took awhile to get it though. Had to use a clamp in the rear so the seat belt brackets would start to thread in, but that was as difficult as it got.
