From this, the ROPS roll cage will be made to suit and to get you maximum head room, harness bar height to ensure a preferred 0-10deg harness angle as well as having the main hoop of the ROPS roll cage far enough back to give you leg room.

From full interior, completely stripped out, or anywhere in between. If you have a sun roof, do you plan to keep it?
