PARTS TO REMOVE BEFORE INSTALLATION FACTORY NUTS FACTORY BOLTS Fig (1) • • • Removal of the seat fasteners is recommended to allow you more access to install the Tiger Cage Road Race bars. There are 2 bolts in the front of the seat, and two nuts in the rear of the seat that hold the seat to the floor pan (see fig 1). Another good idea that we do here at Ridetech is masking off the door jamb area to keep it from being scratched during the installation of the door bars.
REMOVE FRONT KICK PANELS Driver side kick panel • • • • Passenger side kick panel Remove the front kick panels from the Mustang. They are clipped on. The passenger side also has the fuse panel door that will need to be removed with the kick panel. Next roll the carpet back.
MODIFICATION OF PASSENGER SIDE KICK PANEL Fig(3) • The passenger side front kick panel will need to be modified for the Door Bar to fit. • It will need to be cut out for clearance to the Door bar as shown. (see fig 3).
REAR SEAT TRACK MODIFICATION • The Mustang seat track has a tab on the rear of it. • This tab must be bent down for the Door Bar brackets to fit.
REMOVE BOLTS FROM EXISTING UPPER MAIN HOOP BRACKETS REMOVE THESE FASTENERS Fig (4) • The front bolts on the Main Hoop Upper Brackets will need to be removed for the installation of the Door Bars.

MUSTANG ROAD RACE DOOR BAR INSTALLATION Fig (7) • • • STUD LOCATION Once it is located you will need to drill out a 7/16” hole for the stud located under the front door bar support. (see fig 7) After the hole is drilled you can put the carpeting back down. Make sure to cut a hole in the carpet for the stud to go through.
MUSTANG ROAD RACE DOOR BAR INSTALLATION Fig(8) •Now it is time to put the Road Race Bar into the car. •The easiest way to do this is to roll the seat toward the center of the car with the door bar underneath it. •Make sure to line up the Mustang Door Bar Support stud to the hole in the floor pan. •The Mustang Front Seat bracket sit on the outside of the front seat bolt location.
