for anyone who installed an sw race cars roll bar...how well were the tubes notched for the install?

i previously installed a competition engineering roll bar in my old 68 camaro and their version of notched was having to trim and re-notch EVERY tube quite a bit.

I did my cage in the bird with a Jegs unit and installed an S&W in a 92 Mustang. Both cages were identical as far as all the factory shipped tubing was fish mouthed where they needed to be, but in both cases door bars had to be cut to length as well as the hoop and rear bars. That's just the nature of the beast, you will NEVER have a kit cage go in your car like it was custom made for your car, unless in fact you have one custom made. Recently with buddies doing installs in their cars I've yet to hear of one that didnt need a little fabrication to make it work. If you have to fish mouth it you can do it with an angle grinder if you take your time. If you want to spend a little cash get one of those hole saw jigs and if your really cool get a notcher like the chasis boys use.
