Not unless they have been changed recently. Roll bars may be welded,
according to my 1998 book. Has this changed?
13.2.G. Roll bars and roll cages may be added (See Appendix C). It is
strongly recommended that they be constructed according to Section 18 of
the current GCR. Roll bars may be welded. Roll cages must be bolted,
not welded, into the automobile and within the driver/passenger
compartment. A roll cage has more than four attachment points to the
body or frame, or has bracing both fore and aft of the main hoop.
