Default Recognize this rollbar ?

Looking at 7-GT3's posted online and saw a car with this roll-bar installed. Does anyone recognize the brand / model of the bar ?

Bolts to seat belt bolts...looks like the Porsche Tequipment harness bar to me.

That was my initial guess as well but when I did some quick searching on the Tequipment bar for images none of them looked quite like it ...

So ... some more in-depth searching reveals you guys are correct - its the Pan Americana roll bar from the Tequipment line. Thanks for prodding me to look harder !

The pan Americana bar came out along with the 997. It was the "new" rollbar for the "new" 997 but wasn't available for long. I think they were off the shelves barely a year and a half after they came out.

I too have one for sale, but in the original stainless. Posted in the forums along with GT2 seats, harnesses, fire extinguisher, wheels / tires, etc. Attached are a few images I've collected over the past 2 years when I did my buying research. Interesting that it appears Eisenmann makes it for Porsche.
