removable roll bars/cages

i have a generally poor impression of bolt-in roll bars, or bars that have sections removed by way of a single slide bolt.

however one construct that i have never seen discussed is illustrated in the photo below, and i'm trying to figure out if there is any merit to it.

the tubes will be of adequate (if not more than adequate) thickness, with properly made threads, and the nut made from proper material.

in either case, i can't imagine it being any worse than the slide-bolt designs.

EDIT: i was just talking to a cage buildier and i guess i should clarify that the "GIANT NUT" will be a tube of a foot-foot and a half long, with inside threading. But he says the industry average of "tube in a tube with 2 bolts in different directions" seems to be legit and no body really complains


would like to hear your general comments on the idea
