Default Looking for Wolfe Weld In Rollbar Install Pics..

I did a search and found a bunch of rollbar pics but just my luck none of the people that posted them said what brand the rollbar was, etc.

I noticed in the pics the different placements of some of the floor plates and stuff so there must be differences in brands, thus the point of my post here

Basically I'd love to see pics of where the floor plates were placed for all the points, and I have standard rear bars through the speakers BTW..my 8 point mild steel Wolf is going in soon and we need to get and idea of what the heck is going on/how to start, etc.

Any pics/info/help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..

Id like to see pics as well. I installed my 6 point weld-in roll bar a few days ago, got it all painted, installed the seat, and I barely just finish taking it back out! It was positioned too far foward. So after a days work, all the points are back off. On the front floorboard points and the rear points I just cut the plate off, but on the main hoop, I cut the bar from the plate. My roll bar is chromoly, so Im going to have to go back and re-TIG the main hoop to another set of plates. I cut about 2 or 3 inches off the bottom of the hoop and was thinking of putting it back where the hump is. I can send someone pics if they can host them for me. I was wondering if it had to be placed in a certain spot, a basic area, or doesnt matter as long as there is enough points and it welded correctly. Thanks.

1dirtyZ: Those are the standard rear bars, the over the seat go directly over the rear seats, in front of the T-top cover/panel thing is. It would be directly above the gas tank. Here's a link from Wolfe's website of the over the seat rear bars:

Wolfe- chromoly. Install was Tig welded by Keith! I did work for him so no charge. I liked it until I put in my Sparco now I am going to have to have a custom swingout made, because the seat and bar want to be in the same spot.
