Hi David,

I was going to fit them as I wasn't happy with the flex in the bottom of Ian's dash panel. I ended up bending up a hoop of 1/2" stainless tube that's bonded into the back of the lip on the botom of the dash. The ends of this hoop plug into some sockets I've glassed into the back of the fire wall. The whole thing keeps the dash panel nice and rigid yet easy to remove if needed.

I did it this way rather than the traditional bars because I figured it would be a pain to carpet around the braces where they attach to the tunnel. I'm also thinking of putting the fire extinguisher across the tunnel just under the edge of the dash.

Cheers
