Hi Dave,
From personal experience, you would be a LOT better off, fabricating a couple of outriggers on the chassis, cutting a hole in the floor and welding the roll bar to the outrigger below.
Seal / close the hole with a rubber square (circular hole in middle) and / or silicone sealant.
Don't attach the roll bar to the inside of the vehicle as your chassis moves independent to the upper body.
I did mine this way, for a full internal cage and it met MSA Scrutineering requirements for stage rallying, no problem.
I might even have a couple of pics if you are interested but I would need to dig deep to find them.
