Chris, just looked at your pictures in the head restraint thread... I think you need some really large gussets in the top of that roll structure... maybe even plate it all in to protect you from stuff coming in the top in case the worst ever occurs.  
Consult Woody or Blue and then the SCTA prior to any welding...  

Bob - tell me where you're thinking.  Here's a photo just before initial completion -



The seat is not in at this point, and the roof gussets were redone last year.

With the seat in place, and using a half helmet to gauge approximate location -



and the lateral bolted to the seat and cage -



Thanks!

Chris

Oh  I didn't know you were going to be able to run the top.... was thinking there might be some aero on the roll structure with it running back from the windshield.... that is why I suggested asking an aero guy if it would help... but since you are running the top... not an issue.   
you got it covered... so to speak

Factory hard top - a tough get, actually.   

I bought the top about two years before I bought the Midget.

We used to trip over it in the laundry room, and Kate would shake her head and ask, "Why do you have a top for a car you don't own?"

I said, "I'll take care of it".

I think she was expecting me to sell the top, not buy a car to put underneath it . . .

Chris, I took the liberty to use my crayons to modify a pic as to what I think may be needed for the added bars around your noggin.




Oh never mind, I get the "upload folder is full" error mess. when I try to post a pic.

I hope you've seen my message -- that the system is giving lots of you folks hassles today.  It's being worked on as wee sit and hope. . .  Stay tuned.

Bob was on the job and healed the system.

Good Job.....Web Elf.

What color did you use?

[Captthundarr]

RED Dean.

All hail the Nanny State. The current record holder probably had a questionable roll bar at best.

[Tman]

RED Dean. 

That is eggzactly what I was thinking.

[kiwi belly tank]

RED Dean. 

Link the two hoops & continue out the other side to your diagonal.
If you manage to get it on it's head, the removable hardtop will likely be just that, "removed".

Bars, or would 1/4" steel straps be sufficient?

This'll teach me to start talking cocky about being done and stuff . . .
