Norman,

I don't believe that there is an install kit for these vehicles.  Did some 
research on them and came up with zippo.  What I did: (purists-don't read this 
!!) Since the original wheel was in pretty crummy shape, I used it as a 
"sacrificial" hub for attaching my new wheel.  I used an abrasive cut-off wheel 
to 
detach spokes from wheel, got a machinist buddy to clean up the OD (of what was 
left) and also tap attachment holes into the face where I could bolt on the 
new wheel to it.  That way, the splines fit properly, and the recesses for the 
turn signal trip are still in the right place.  The wheel I got had a stamped 
steel "spider" that mated the new wheel to the sacrificial hub.  Yeah, it puts 
the wheel a little closer to you, but it feels a lot better than that 16" 
hula-hoop!

Second question: if I'm reading you right you're asking if there is anything 
on frame underneath where mounting pads of rollbar mate to floor/parcel shelf 
floor.  Don't know, but I'm getting ready to do the same thing.

Good luck,
