Obviously this is advertised for a Speedster (both 1989 & 964).
Although a Speedster, I want to find an easily available solution for cab owners looking for an eye-appealing rollbar. Is this it?
Heigo's "Porsche 964 Speedster - Doppelbügel" safety bar.
No affiliation.

Thanks to cargraphic.de, more photos of what looks like the Heigo rollbar:

Guys, I'm going to make my rollbar removable and have another shell fabricated. I think I'll cut out the center and start to fit those baby seats!! That $4500 was extremely high but That bar was cut down and sleeve with stainless tubing. 50 hours and I'm a damn good metal fabricator. You MUST mount roll bars to the framing structure and not the floor. I created a triangle box out of HEAVY gauge metal. I also had to remove my glove box lower dash and install 89 c4 lower knee pads. I’m 6’3” and cramped.
I am considering 3.6 turbo trades but of course no one is interested.

how is that braced front to rear? are there supports on the lower part of the main hoop?
Its amazing how easy a car will roll .. seen it happen many times at the track...
I have an autopower for a 993 cab and I don't have a car yet!
pls post pics when done.

in reply to the original Q @ head of thread.
IF i was to track i'd opt for a das... but i'd buy a more track prepped 993 for track use.
my cab is more for spirited driving, not racing. i do not push the car or my limits.
also, this tread brings to mind a personal warning from a top socal p-car restoration/interior guy, Levon (showed me the seat frame diff. from a 996 & 993):
993 cab owners who have changed to non oem or 996 seats should be aware that the plastic & composite seat frames are not even close to the strength of the oem metal frame of the original 993s...
just thought i'd pass that forward. just be aware esp. for cab lovers that mod.

Although I'm trying to avoid RL for the next ~10 months & focus on night school demands, this thread is a result of today's following two posts:
Robert's profound praise on the "Rennlist/ PCA member's 993 SPEEDSTER" thread:
