I'm having a problem with the install of my Stable Energies (Safety Devices) roll cage. The main roll bar front feet holes do not come close to fitting the studs on the car. I may have to whack the studs off (get your mind OUT of the gutter) and weld some nuts into the box section. Does anyone know what is in the box section behind the seats where the roll bar bolts to? Is the locating pin also a shear restraint pin? Is there another solution that is better than what I'm thinking?

Overview of the roll bar in the car

Closeup of the foot with only one stud poking thru

Stud and locating pin (shear pin?) locations

Possible solution by welding in a nut and removing stud and pin

Thanks in advance,

CW
