Default Weld in roll bar to firewall supports

I am trying to find out who makes the welded in round roll bar supports that are welded into the firewall so you can unbolt the subframe. I have seen these used by a few shops. I hope I explained myself correctly.

Make them. How do you want the tube to attach, like a swing out door bar, or just through bolted? A local machine shop should be able to turn you a simple part for the through bolt design. Don't know of any off the shelf items, other than the door bar adaptors from various vendors. If you can't get them done locally, let me know, I'll try to fix you up.

They are very simple to make if you have a lathe, I just happen to not have one.

I can check with Matt to see if he still has the pattern in his CNC that we used for the OLC...

Flat plate - two hole saws and a drill bit... cut the big round first - cut the inner - mark a pattern for the bolts - drill and finish...
