Is this plate welded on I will email the guy I got the roll bar off of and ask him if their is a plate under the bed.

Having trouble getting the roll bar level it looks like it needs to go further forward but the carpet hold strip is in the way do you have to remove it to get it level

VT I think he's talking about backing plates for the rollbar. I don't have them either yet, need to make some, should be pretty easy.

Gary, so you have the short seatbelt retractor for the passenger side and there is no hole to mount it on the vertical, just like in the picture? And like VT said, should have a captive nut to bolt it to.

Oh, so i guess you already found out too, heh.

No welding is needed for the roll bar if you use the plate things underneath the wheel wells instead of just washers..
