The way I read the book, welding anything solid to the B-pillar isn't
legal in Stock.  Harness bars are restricted to telescoping devices to
prevent them from acting as chassis stiffeners.  Roll bars/cages have to
be attached to or through the floorpan -- and any additional attachment to
a pillar would automatically make the structure a cage, which must be
bolted.  I'm not sure you'd want to do that anyhow.

Of course, you can weld a harness bar into the roll bar structure, so long
as it's not attached to anything else.
