It’s the same as the stock mounting point. I’m not sure what the thickness of that plate is. You should reach out to pinnacle or gosling and see what the thickness they use and the logic behind their design.
I do understand your reasoning that during a roll over things are gonna be under tensions. But I feel like not many bolt in rollbars would hold up to a severe roll over. The only safe bet would be if the bars are welded in.
But as far as mounting locations being located in oem mounting points I think is better than other rollbars on the market as they’re structurally more sound than drilling into your floor and adding plates.
