Default Locating the roll cage

Hello all,

A few quick questions:

How does one locate the rollcage? I suppose principally it's the height one can influence, but how does one arrive at the correct height? What other components are influenced by it? Do I need to have the body to offer up against it?

I'm not having doors on my car, thus I'm hoping to put all my body / screen, etc on myself.

Thanks for the help in advance.

John.

Not sure if its the same as ours but Mark told us to just stick it on and fix it down, nothing technical about it really, But yours may be different as to were its located but not sure.

Hi John,
Getting to the roll cage fitting soon, as far as i can see it's the rollcage/windscreen alignment that is the crucial factor to get right.
