    Hey guys great forum! Can anybody send me a picture of the mounting of the Rollbar inside the roof. I know it mounts to the unused shoulder strap bolt hole but I would like to see what type bolt is used. I am finally finishing the interior on my GT500 480023. Thanks Rob

    I don't have a picture handy but it is the same as the seat belt bolts. A variety of lengths well fit. You can take a thin rod to poke in the bolt hole to give you a idea of the total length you have to work with before it bottoms out. If you use one too long you will put a pucker into the roof metal :blink: . Bob

    Here is a picture of February built car. I think its original. No washer, gold bolt with star drive. The bolt has two triangles and a "d" on it.
