Got a box from summit today.
pipemaster to use as a guide for the notches on the cage tubes, and a $23 clearance stainless thrush glasspack that answers the what kind of exhaust question.
Been driving around in the BMW on and off for a couple of weeks and the motor work all seems good. Time to get back at it.
Sunroof and windows be gone!
Well I called the cage kit guy and he said they had sold several of those without any issues. He wanted some pictures and we would see about bending another one. Well this meant I had to run out to the shop and look at it again. Turns out the bar is fine, it was an id ten t error (id10t). The down bars were pushed up against the side of the car. This left no room for welding. Once the bars were out from the side of the car the same amount as the main hoop all was well. It is amazing what a second look with fresh eyes will do for you sometime.
This also means the windshield bar needs to be notched again to make it a little shorter.

Worked on the car but nothing photo worthy. Cleaned seam sealer and paint for cage mounting pads. Cleaned sound mat off the inside. Next time we should finish the x door bar for the passenger side and the foot protection bars. Ordering a x brace for the rear down bars on Monday. Once that is here and fit it is time to do the final install on the cage.
