I have heard rumors of installation templates for Hard Dog roll bars, but none were included with my roll bar (Hard Core Hard Top) and I can't find them on their website.

The last time I installed one, I cut the rear panel by trial and error. I'm hoping to do a little better job this time.

Anybody know where I can find a template for cutting the rear panel?

If you're talking about templates for cutting the metal, I've never seen one. The ones that (were? are?) available from Hard Dog are for the plastic interior bits.

Thanks for clearing that up Keith.

Let the cutting begin.....

While not exactly a "template", this is about all I've found on Bethania's website.

While it appears to be some sort of early Stevie Wonder grade-school art project, it at least offers some highly accurate approximations!!!

I never saw that before, but I guess it's what I was looking for.

It's notable that the new bar is quite a bit different from my last one: The rear supports are curved, rather than straight, so I be better off without the template.

I made the cuts and installed the bar yesterday, after a lot of careful measuring. It went better than I expected. I'll post some photos tonight.
