It's also interesting that your main hoop is just behind that stock low horizontal support part. I've seen pics with it just in front of that, or welded straight onto the top of it for a shorter hoop, but I hadn't ever considered putting it behind like that. Might leave more room for seat/harness mounting/adjustment, too.

They're welded through the first layer into the second. There's some sealant between the two layers, we went through that.
The main hoop is in the same position on most of the cages I've seen, I think?
It's where it is on mine out necessity, my seat is within 3 inches of the hoop, as I've got it mounted pretty far back. Idea was to move my weight as far rearward as I could. I may end up needing to re-locate the pedals and wheel a bit rearward, but in the street driving I've done so far with the chair in the current position, it seems okay.
