I once fitted a sports bar to a BF II and it was one of those "why did they design it this way" jobs. Absolute pig of a job. The instructions noted that you should jack the car up between the cab/tub to slightly "flex" the join to allow a little more access to the bolts. I ended up sticky taping the nut to a welding rod/peice of wire to hold nut whilst carefully threading onto the bolt.
