A-pillar bars
« on: April 17, 2007, 09:46:47 PM »

To get the A-pillar bars to meet the halo, do you guys just bend and tweak the top to get it to fit, or do you weld a small section from the halo to the top of the pillar bar?  Just curious what all of you have done.  I think the bend would be cleaner, but it is a big hassle, because I need to go back and forth between the guy that is doing the bends for me for any tweaking.

Thanks!

Andy In my Duster I tweeked 'em......Took a tad smaller I.D. pipe and stuffed it inside the tube and mildly heated with a mapp gas torch and bent slightly until it was at the point I needed for attachment.  Worked well in my case.
