Happy Thanksgiving!  Here’s a Turkey Day rollbar update…

Here’s the top strap drilled into place on the rollbar’s rear half. I did it the same way as the bottom strap (see the last post). As is usually the case, this one went a lot faster than fitting and drilling the bottom strap. Sharp-eyed observers might notice that the top strap is held in place with #40 clecos…I pilot-drilled both the top and bottom straps to #40, then enlarged the holes to #30.  So there.Here’s another view of the rear channel and straps match-drilled. A thing of beauty…

Another picture? Sure, I knew you’d want one…enjoy!

After laying out and pilot-drilling rivet holes in the front channel halves, I fitted them into place on the rear channel assembly.

Apologies for the fuzzy pic, but what you’re seeing is me checking the overall rollbar thickness to make sure it’s 1.5″ per plans. There’s more to follow in the next exciting installment, so stay tuned.
