Autopower Roll Bar Install

I bought an Autopower "roll bar" used, so I have no instructions.

The bar would be a "street" type. I got it just to have a place to attach my shoulder harness and to mount a camera. A Hard bar would have done but the price was right for the Autopower.

This model mounts on the upper rear deck. There are no legs going down to the floor. It just mounts in 4 places. Two legs 4 bolts each, mount on the rear deck. There are two legs going to the rear that have two bolts each.

So before I go pulling apart the carpet etc. does anyone have any pictures of an install or maybe some advice on the mounting?

BTW I have a 00FRC

Have you checked with http://www.autopowerindustries.com/rollbars.asp
and requested instructions? I'm sure they would help you.

I have one of their "bolt-in" 4-pt bars in my C5 Z06, so same body as yours. The installation required welding 4 plates to the car. Two at the top of the bulkhead behind the seats and the other two alongside the well in the trunk. I bought it from and had it installed at a local shop. Since it was their first Z06 install, a guy from Autopower (it is a San Diego company) came over and guided them on how to do it.

PM me with an e-mail address and I can send you some pictures.

PM sent, Thanks

Now I am getting nervous, I had not planed on welding etc. I will wait till I see the pictures till I make my final decision.

My Autopower Roll bar just came in yesterday. I have the race roll bar and I did find some pictures on line of the welding plates. It does not seem like a big deal. Plus, if you ever take it out the you can carpet right back over the top. I will also forward pictures of my install.

Tell me where on line did you find pictures of the welding plates?
