This is the only photo I have of mine tacked in place, after taking the photo I welded them fully, removed the cage, painted it matt black, then put it in the shed for when the car is ready to have it back!

Nice one, cheers rob, i think when i fit mine where it fits to the front section it'll be about 1 inch under the bend by the dash and it'll be almost horizontal, my worry is that it'll be uber hard to get in!! lol

Remember you need to get at the handle to open the door, unless you've done away with it and got a cord or something to pull instead.

A single door bar horizontal half way up the a-pillar bar wont be very strong. Consider a side impact, it's just putting bending forces into the a-pillar and b-pillar hoops. The standard angled door bar, like Rob's, is better as it doesn't put much bending force into the a-pillar as it's mounted near the foot. Obviously, a double door bar is better.

I have an OMP ten point cage and my door bar is in the same place as Robs.

 

My cage was proffessionally fitted.

Having one is better than not having one for sure. But put it diagonally like everyone else! lol
