Today is the day I get started on installing the cage. I ordered this tubing notcher from Northern Tool (Ole Joint Jigger). Plus I bought two 1 5/8†hole saws down at Lowes. It is clamped in my woodworking vise on my workbench.
The first job was to fit the Main Hoop. The hoop lays back at about 14 degrees, it basically wedges in between the hard-top latch mounts.
