the mm roll bar does come with everything needed to complete the install parts wise, including the sandwhich plates, minus the wedler anyway, you still have to weld the rear bars to the top of the main hoop, they have bolts but that is not nhra legal
the mm bar comes painted black, mine didnt ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

well I was told it was painted black, either way, I still plan on padding it so if I have to I will take a can of spray paint to it!
So would it be right to bolt in the rear bars to the main hoop then weld it in?

i welded mine first, then i added the bolts for ADDED support. just to be on the safe side. that is the only reason.

Yes, use the bolts to align the down bars, then weld it in place.

If the weld is worth its weight in gold then the bolts are pointless. If there is any question on if the welds are strong enough, then you don't want that person welding the bar. You trust your life with it, don't f--- around, be 100% in it or go home.

After seeing the MM bar in my 93, I honestly believe there is no need to weld it. It is SO tight in the car it's crazy. They really did their homework in designing these.
Also, keep in mind it's a roll BAR, not cage. If you were to actually roll the car, it's not going to matter if it was welded or bolted in...it will push through the floor pan with enough force.

so i take it you got the belt situation figured out, if not give me a call, i dont have another wrap around belt
but i do have a floor mount if you want to hold off on modifying your bars

it's common sense that more support is always better. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
haha this is getting to the point where it seems a lot of peeps in here would consider bolted-in subframe connectors would be sufficent enough hahaha ![[worship]](graemlins/worship.gif)
