Bob,

Thanks and yes, that is what I would like to do. Not sure I am going to do the fwd halo because installing the cross-bar behind the dash would likely disrupt all the gage locations and wiring - and this is not a new build and a new wiring job is more than I want to tackle this year, with the other mods I am doing. I assume you have a cross bar behind he dash?

TT - I like the bend. That would allow my elbow to fit under the bar and over the seat side bolsters. Not sure how well the swing-out connectors would transfer any bending loads from a side impact, but sure better than nothing... What does the rest of your cage look like and is it certified?

Thanks to all who have responded, keep the ideas coming!
