Did the blacksmith make your rollbar from scratch or did he modify your original one also can you remember roughly what it cost

As always thanks for the advice. Just one more question for you guys, fitted the prop shaft yesterday, and now there isnt a hope in hell of the gear stick selector bar fitting back in its origional position, what did you guys do to get round this? I didnt know whether to lift the tunnel or make an internal selector bar please help. Confused
