I'm back at it after being away for a while. I was very curious after reading other threads about the fit of the rollbar. I dry fit it and was able to get the bars to line up after persuading it with a mallet. I have added pictures. I was not able to get it to sit flush with the trunk floor. Is this acceptable, or do I need to get a bigger hammer?

The straight bar was not binding and I could slide it up to close the gap.

It took serious hammer work to get it back out again. Is the bolt from the hoop really necessary? Wouldn't geometry and three bolts at the base of the hoop bars and straight bar hold it in place? If not I still need to decide if I want to go with the Boltless roll bar from Speedworks or add the 3rd brake light in the hoop.
