Default Pics Of Cage Mounts

i have a wolfe 6 point roll bar. i was wondering if anybody had any pics of the mounts of their cages/bars? it doesnt look like anything is going to fit flush, the mounting points that is. at least not without a torch to heat the metal up with then mold it in place. any suggestions as to how to weld to the floor panels. i have looked at wolfes site and the pics arent that great any body got any?

A hammer and some love taps should help you out.

Yup. Mine fit pretty decent. It was tight in a few places, but nothing my 4# friend couldn't handle.

yeah but they are just flat plates. i dont see any flat areas in the rear to weld to. its all rounded and contoured not just flat metal. i dunno once i get into it it might look a little different. and i figured a hammer would come into play somewhere

It should look almost the same. I only had to bend the two main hoop plates on my full cage. I had a wofle 6 point and then front halfed the cage myself and added some other bars.
