Ok then. Let me make rephrase my opening statement: Give a high quality,
properly designed and welded roll bar.
I mean, why would I go through the trouble of asking about proper mounting
(possibly cutting and welding) if I were use a low grade, 'for looks only'
roll bar? LOL!
Thanks for the info guys...

Joe;
Seems to me, that "given a roll bar," is a statement which makes it
sound like a roll bar is a roll bar.... that's obviously not the case,
as lots of folks on this list can tell you. The "entry level" Autopower
rollbar that was the subject that started this thread is a lightweight
mechanical tubed creation, designed to turn heads, not protect drivers.
Then, there are serious, welded structural tubing creations with
heavy-wall design that actually offer decent protection. These would, as
you said, require some cutting and welding to make certain their rugged
construction was met with a rugged, to-the-frame installation. It's a
good case of getting what you pay for...
