Tequipment roll bar owners - Question for you

I'm looking at picking up a Tequipment roll bar but it doesn't have the install hardware. Does anyone know what I need to get specifically? Is it something I can pick up from Home Depot?

the hardware you can buy from mcmaster, but do you have the thick spacer w/ the hole that fits into the front lower mounting points? If you just need the bolts pm me your address i can send it to you free of charge i had to buy the entire box from mcmaster and it came with like 20 bolts per box.

Thank you for the VERY kind offer I do not have a thick spacer but is it something I can get at a hardware store? do you happen to have a pic of it?

Do search: Can be a frustrating experience in isometrics.
We had to pound the heck out of the inner door sill to allow it to fit (ball peen hammer). Others have found it to be easier. Cover your door sills with thick blankets, when removing your seats. It takes two people.

easier to just cut out the section above the mounting point than pounding. but hey knock yourself out!

yeah, just cut it out much easier. I installed the rollbar all by myself within a few hours. check the other board for some really good instructions and videos.

Yes, pull the carpet back and use a dremel tool to cut a half circle out of the plastic under the carpet and where the roll bar will hit, then put the carpet back in place. When the roll bar is installed, it will depress the carpet into the void and install easily. This only takes about 10 minutes to do. And cover the sills like Marty suggested.
