Upon raising the posts I have discovered the cross bar will interfere with the garage door opener. Should have raised the roof to 14ft and installed a 12ft tall door.
So I'm going to modify the crossbar by making a 18 inch by 36 inch "notch" in the middle to give the opener room to operate. I'll also have to modify the upper limit safety switch trip bar by 18". That will be easy as there is a 3/8"/10mm rod that actuates the safety switch that can easily be replaced with a longer one. I'm thinking about a removable one with a coupling and a set screw as the convertible will easily clear the "notch", but the pickup is a different issue. Will need to do a lot of measuring.
Got to get busy cutting concrete.
