can I use this clevis kit on my cross bar
I put a 6 pt roll bar in my car mainly for looks but Im sure it helps strengthen the chassis as well. The problem is that now I cant recline my seats due to the cross bar being right behind the head rest. Would it be wise to weld in this clevis kit which will allow me to remove the bar when I want to go out for a cruise with the kids or something? I wont use those pins to secure it. iwill use high grade bolts that fit VERY tight. I will use this bar to mount my 5 pt harness when that day comes as well. here is a pic of something I would like to use.

thats what I figured. I guess thats ok though. I proberbly wont be at the track no more then 3 times a year. If I do go, and they do notice it, how fast will they let me run up to before they throw me out

if you run over 10 seconds you should be fine.

A roll bar is required in any convertible running 13.99 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile, and in other cars beginning at 11.99. The roll bar is accepted in vehicles running as quick as 10.00 second e.t., provided the stock firewall and floorboard is intact, other than for installation of wheel tubs. The rollbar must be constructed of minimum 1 ¾ inch o.d. x .118 inch wall mild steel tubing, or 1 ¾ x .083 chrome moly tubing
