I'd also put the screen on post SVA.
At the very least don't make a hood until the screen is in place.
The exact screen - rollbar distance will vary from car to car.
Get it wrong and either you'll have a flappy roof or a broken glass screen!!

Unless you're making a solid roof (when it's even more critical )
