After honing the receiver tubes for way too long and then taking the flap wheel to the roll bar I still couldn't get the bar to go in more than 1/2 way.
I then used a digital angle tool and found the receiver tubes aren't parallel, they are almost 2º off.
I then used an angle grinder with a cutoff wheel at a 30º angle to reduce the OD of the roll bar ends to 1.450" then the flap wheel to smooth it out. I can now get the roll bar all the way into the receiver tubes with minimal tapping.

talking about the roll bar, can anyone make sense of the instructions for the installation of the pins, if so let me hear from you, thanks

After sanding and polishing mine goes in and out ok with a dead blow you just have to go evenly, not the greatest roll bar but better than none at all
