Quick update, got an email from the ORA last night, to confirm my roll hoop before they bend it up B)



Dimensions are in inches as they use american computer based bending software and machinery...

Hope i've measured it right! ;)

As my Jimny is a soft-top with a hard-top fitted to the rear, I thought it wise to take the precaution of fitting a roll hoop and stays, it will be sandwiched through the floor with these feet plates from the ORA too...

And today it turned up with a carrier -





The ends of they stays have been notched ready for welding to the top crossbar...



... and the feet -



With sandwich plates under the floor -






Looks like I was half an inch out with my sketch! :unsure:

So I just need to cut a little off the bottom of the feet tubes, and weld the X-cross pieces onto the foot plates, and I'm done... get it tacked, welded up, and then off for powder-coating...

MANY THANKS TO THE ORA! B)
