[TPR] Found the mufflers I'd been looking for

[David in Durango]

Can one install  a roll-bar and still get the access panel for the engine 
off??? I don't think so.  One may want to have the "removable hump" option 
in place before the roll bar is installed. . . . .

Just thinking . . .

Well, one of your email addresses has been coming through on the list
just fine (I'll have to check which one).  The other may not be
registered so it would get rejected.

I wish I were that far ahead of the game.  Wow!  Three grand for a
rollbar?  That's nuts!  I paid Dick Drenske about $1,500 for the
customer four point cage (like Dennis') for my Pantera.  It's still
not installed though.  Some of the bolt holes for the connectors are
at the wrong angle and I can't install them once the whole thing is
installed.  I have some welding work on it that needs done before I
can put it in.  That, and I need to get a removable bulkhead cover
that's compatible with the cage.

You might take some photos and email the tech inspectors ahead of time
to ask about harness attachment.  If it's at the right angle and
distance, you may be fine.
