Default subframe/rollbar interference

>Hi ,
Does anyone here have a Wolfe Racecraft 6 point roll bar that's bolt in and not weld in ? I'm stuck with a problem ... I have the BMR weld in subframe connectors and the connection where the drivers and passengers seat bars connect (bolts) to the floor will interfere with the subframe connectors .
Later ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />
stay safe

With mine. I got longer bolts and used a longer bit for the drill. That's the only way I knew had to get done in my garage. Back yard mechanics at it's best <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sorry I don't have a digital camera. I place all my extra spending cash on both my F-Bodies. (soon to be divorced) Went to Orchard hardware supply and just got some longer grade 8 bolts. It looks fine cuz I usually don't stare underneath the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Actually don't worry, it will work out and hasn't loosen up on me once. Good Luck
