Thanks for the tip..

I think what I'm going to end up doing, is mount to the normal location on the 
wheel arch for when the roll-bar is not in the car, and then relocate it to a 
point on the roll-bar, when I have that installed. That way, I can use either 
location depending on whether I have the roll bar in or not. I was hoping to 
have just one mounting location, but it appears that is probably too much of a 
problem to try and work out.

Thanks again everyone for your input on this.

BTW - I Plan to take this car for it's first test drive either tomorrow, or 
Saturday, so that's why I've been asking so many questions the last two weeks.
