If you weld the bars in i would have thought you would REALLY struggle to drop the dash out afterwards.

the safty devices cage is shit imo being that far away from the A pillar it will offer no ridgid strenth
it needs to go down the A pillar and be pinned to the piller with long welds
my car has a ford motorsport 909 bolt in cage (STEEL MAGNISUM MIX)

yes i know its bolt it but its a proper thing

a weld in cage will have been deigned for the dash to fit over the cage
ie down the pillers
