    Roll Bar Drilling

    Doing some final work on the trunk area and I have a question.

    (I'll be using the Tangent hidden upper mount - so I know not to drill the "outrigger" yet)

    Which would be the best direction to drill the holes in the frame stubs & uprights?

    Fore & Aft
    or
    Side to Side

    I went fore and aft for mine; no particular logic applied.

    I go fore & aft on the hoop and side to side at the bottom of the rear leg because that seems to make it a little easier to install & tighten the bolts---but I don't think it's real critical either way.

    Thanks Guys...

    I'm assuming the little weld blobs on the frame stubs are stops?
