I finally got the roll bars to attach. The trick here is that you need to file off a bunch of the powder coat paint on the rear roll bar mount so that the rear leg can slide down far enough so the hoop roll bar can come all the way down. Then you can pull the rear leg up and into the hoop roll bar's mount.
Once this is in, you can start drilling the mounts. Like the manual says, start small and work your way up to the 5/16" bit. This is the *hardest* drilling of the entire project I have felt so far. Have a plugged in drill or very charged up batteries and have some sharp bits! I broke quite a few bits doing this (some big ones too.) If a bit is really stuck into the far side like I had, one tip it to use a hammer and punch and punch it through. Hopefully that won't happen to you. The above picture is to show the nice joinery from the Tangent internal roll bar attachment kit.
