Well,
I did change the side bars back to original. Basically like Yummi showed in his paint-pic.
Adds about 10lbs and and a bit more labor.
(Maybe I can lose 10Lbs by working harder,,,,,and call it even)
There is 6 1/2 to 7" of clearance between a helmet and the C pillar bars. So this is fine
If more is needed, the seats can be moved closer together,,as I have plenty of room in the cockpit.
Thanks for the input,,, but I will leave the A pillars as is.
It will add a little bit more strength by making them more vertical,,,,,but this setup/ style design has more than proven it's strength & durability to me.
And straight up vertical would sacrifice more of my personal style, than the small amount of added strength would be worth.
Thanks for your input guys
I hope to order tubing & laser next week, and get it going.
