Rollbar riveting
I primed the roll bar parts and riveted the halves together with the splice plate and then riveted on the strips. I fitted the front half to the back and a few of the holes wouldn't quite line up, so I pulled it apart and did some filing in one area on the strip to allow it to sit lower. Primed where I filed and called it a night.

Tip: I think it is a good idea to cleco on the splice plate for the two channel pieces, then check the width and adjust. Set a couple of rivets to hold things together and then check the measurement again. I think there is enough wiggle room with cleco's and rivets to allow a incorrect width.


Top strip riveted on.. starting on bottom.
