The roll bar has been removed from the mounting sleeves to allow visibility of the single mounting bolt on the right, and the four bolt locating plate on the left.

NOTE: The mounting bolts exert a certain force (determined by the tightening torque) on the extruded section of the rollbar. Be sure to engage the pins on the locating plate in the roll bar before tightening.
