And that was to make it level behind that mount? It looks like I'd have to do it to the passenger side as well.

Thanks for the pictures Dan! Do you recall how far behind the dash mounting tab it is? I don't mind notching it, just want to get it right.

NRC did my Cage, but this is what it looks like.. The plates for the main hoop weren't bent, but cut to fit the contour of the floor and then welded together.

Thanks for pictures.

The problem that I have is that the windshield runner bars don't have the correct angle to clear the dash. I tried to notch the metal, but the angle just isn't right. I used a plumb bob and dropped it at the edge of the metal and made that the furthest part of the tubing and used a holesaw to drop the tubing through the floor. Any ideas?
