It also requires notching the covers over the gas tank and water bottles.
I think there's enough wiggle room for the gas tank to be moved out of the
way without needing to do much more than some light malletizing to the front
edge--and maybe not even that. Dennis Quella has one of these engine-bay
roll bars in his Gr4 project car that has been nothing but a bare shell for
the past 20 years or so and will never be finished. :<(
Having said that, I think the hoop would be too far aft to do much good for
the driver. Although it would probably do a dynamite job of protecting
your air cleaner, that seems to be rather missing the point of a roll bar. :>)
