You put the bars behind the dash.
reason is so you dont crush your knees. and you can remove the dash when you need to.
Not sure about your country, But here, there's regulations on how to build a cage for your car, and it needs to be checked and signed off. So people dont build crappy cages and hurt or kill them selves.

I guess he got tired of me trying to warn him off some of these ideas from a "been there done that" standpoint of building cages myself over on Pelican, decided to fly this by RL and got met with a ****$torm.
What he's failing to mention......this is a street car.....!
So you built the one piece halo "to get it as far away from your head as possible" but you put an X brace right above your skull in a street car with no helmet....?
It's the knee crusher HVAC treated role cage option. Lovely, I will have to pass on the driving experience of that particular cage setup due to being 6'4" with my legs still attached. I would rather not take a chance on drastically changing that (very important to me) number. Other than looking like it would willingly remove my lower half in a fender bender and possibley decapitate me it looks very nice.
I also failed to mention that steering wheel, shifter & pedals will be moved rearward by about 4 inches/100mm and this changes the geometry quite a bit.
I need to thank everyone for your input. THANKS! I also appreciate the photos.
Your comments inspired me to once again sit in the car & reconsider potential injury... I think with some roll bar padding on my dash bar would be fine...
BUT, just now it has been cut from the a-pillars. I want the cage to get the nod from scrutineers & not be questioned. So I consider myself LUCKY to have the feedback everyone.
