    steel front bubble arch help

    hi all

    new to forum been searching for info on front steel bubble arch fitment

    the ones i have has the bumper bar mounting bit where the side bolts go thru on it

    now do i cut the front wing bar bolt up holes out and use the one on the steel bubble arch or cut it off the steel bubble arch and leave the wing mounting holes on

    i see different pics where it looks like they have cut them out and use the bubble arch holes to mount bar , and also seem others that have cut the bar holes of the steel arch and use the original wing holes ... bit confused as which way is right

    cheers

    cheers after looking at it and measuring etc i decided to leave original bumper hole as well..

    a panel beater friend told me instead of using a joggler on the panels to do it to the arches and weld them up so in the end result , the cut panels sits flush with the arch and not much filler needed just finished the 4 arches
