Bolt on Roll Bar/Cage

I've bought a couple kits from Autopower for 24 Hours of LeMons projects and have experience with both their bolt-in and weld-in kits. We are actually in the process of putting in one of their kits into our 300ZXima LeMons car. In our case, Autopower doesn't make a kit for the Z31 2+2, but we called and gave them measurements and they sent us a kit that had plenty of extra bar to make work. Expect a little massaging if you are going this route.

A lot of people don't realize, but (and this is a good example of irony) roll cages can be dangerous in street cars. Imagine taking one of those bars and throwing a watermelon at it. That's what your head would be like if you hit it on one of those bars without a helmet. You can also break your arm extremely well across those bars. My point is that if you are looking for a bolt in kit for a toughness look, build it out of wrapping paper tubes.

i wanted a roll bar/harness bar for an area to mount harnesses for when i go onto the track. (which is probably the only reason this car is being driven nowadays)
originally i was thinking of turning the brace bar behind our seats into a harness point/area (like the amuse brace bar). but i later realize that it wasn't placed at a right position where it would protect me in case of an impact, since it was positioned under my shoulders in which if there's an impact it would pull me down and break my back. from what i remember it should always be 10 degrees above your shoulders so if there were to be an impact it would pull you back and hold you in rather than pull you back/hold you in and also pull you downwards.
but yeah i may be wrong, for i am not that wise when it comes to roll bars/cages.
