John - The rear mount screws directly into the pre-existing hole (threaded receiver) for the rear seat belts. You simply remove the rear seat belts and bolts and use their mounts for the roll bar. No cutting, drilling, or tapping required. Also, no nut is required on the rear mounts. VERY simple install. I have not removed the bar since I initially installed it. I would have if I weren't able to get the extra legroom I needed.

Greg - Good call on the bolts. I'm going to reverse them before I hit Sears Point on Saturday!

MC: It looks nice. Does it come with the camera mounting unit?

Thanks.

MC,
Dougherty installed my bar and placed the bolts so the nuts were afixed inside the car as Greg suggested.

Camera mount and harness guides are an option from DAS. You can also buy the camera mount directly from I/O Port at <a href="http://www.ioportracing.com/video.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ioportracing.com/video.htm</a>

You can see other pics of a coupe install at <a href="http://www.gagme.com/greg/911/hacks/rollbar.html" target="_blank">http://www.gagme.com/greg/911/hacks/rollbar.html</a> but this is in a 911SC, similar to the pic above. The 964 and 993 coupe bar mounts very differently. You can get some idea at <a href="http://www.das-sport.com/data/964bar.html" target="_blank">http://www.das-sport.com/data/964bar.html.</a> You can see the bar that mounts across the car just in front of the rear seats on top of the tunnel. This bar mounts to the front seat belt tensioner points. The roll bar otself then mounts to this bar and to the rear seatback pivot bolt points.

THanks Rick,

By looking at DAS 964 page, it looks like the main bar is mounted to the front seat belt's reels location through the side panels, right?

Never mind, I see it now... <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> I guess one does have to take out the rear seats' back to mount the DAS bar.
Thanks all...
