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