Default More pictures of this Matter cage/roll bar?

So I thought I had seen most of the rare bits on 944/968's until I ran across the picture of this 968 Club Sport with a Matter roll bar in it. Anyone have any more pictures of this?

Check this thread.
Notice how the cage ties into the front strut towers.
I have more pics but I'm away from my computer on my iPhone.

Just noticed that is a different cage. The one you pictured is a bolt in affair.

Yeah thats why I thought this one was interesting since it just bolts in. I have never seen it before. I believe I have seen a few Club Sports listed for sale that mentioned a cage in them but they never had pictures of it.

The piece resembles the Redline Rennsport design bolt-in roll-bar I used to have in my 944. Very nice product that bolts right in. I could install it or take it out all by myself in about 20-30 mins. Very handy for dual-purpose cars.

Still looking for additional pictures. Would like to get a replica built of the orignal bolt in roll bar I posted but need more pictures.

Nice pictures but that is not the cage I am looking for. The one I posted in the first post is a factory bolt in roll bar that only attaches at the seatbelt mounting bolts and the C-pillar bolts. It does not extend to the front or rear of the car.

Mine is not a "matter cage",it is very much my design, based closely on a Porsche GTRS designed cage, and pic attached. Ignore the loose parts in the pic, this is a pic from the build phase. Is immaculate now. It may give you alternate ideas.

Finally someone comes forward with pictures! I would love to get some really detailed dimensions and pictures of this to have a replica made.

I don't know how i could measure it in order for you to be able to make a replica, those bends can be a little tricky to measure.


Quick Reply: More pictures of this Matter cage/roll bar?
