Roll over hoops - part 2

The hole at the other side of the car (nearside) was drilled, like the first and opened out..
Two holes drilled
A straight line was marked across the boot of the car, using a straight edge. Bolts in the two holes were used to position of the line.  The hole centres were marked 304mm (12 inch) apart, from each inner hole centre. The loom needed to be unclipped on the nearside and the carpets pulled back. A small screw driver helped check that the holes were lined up with the mounting points. Once I was sure that the hole centres lined up, they were opened out to 55mm (the bars are 51mm) to allow the roll over bar legs to go through.
Two bolts used to check the hole centres
So all four big holes drilled in the boot floor. May need to open them up a little more, but that is for another day if required!
Four holes drilled, centred and opened out
So, steady progress. The two holes for the third legs will have to wait.
