Installing roll bar tomorrow.. need some clarification

All ready to install the roll bar in the morning. I opened up the little bag of plates that wolfe sent with the bar today. There are 2 6"x"6 plates (for the main hoop I assume) and 8 3"x6" plates. Now other than the main hoop, there are 4 other points to weld to the car. Why do I have 8 plates?

5 point harness: Can I put a bolt (or two) through the crossbar to attach my harness to?

Anything else I need to know about?

No no no -- don't drill through the crossbar. If you must bolt it on, weld a tab and drill through that.
To go around the crossbar, most people wrap around it.

If you wanna be NHRA certified at some time in the future, you may wanna consult the certif. rules for cages before proceeding.

The 2 6"x6" plates are for the rear bars. The 3"x"6 plates are used for the main hoop and front bars.

I have added a photo at the bottom of our Roll Bar Install Photo's at the link below of the plates installed for the main hoop. The plates for the front bars are done the same.
