White Porsche 997 GT3 BBi StreetCup Roll Bar Install


(Click on images for higher resolution)



We took delivery this White Porsche 997.1 GT3 and installed our Street Cup Roll Bar, in our Standard Satin Black Finish, to properly mount harnesses and increase protection. Our bar features 4130 chrome moly steel tubing (1.5" x .120" main hoop & 1.5" x 0.95" rear hoops) for excellent strength to weight ratio. With our sensible approach, the 2 piece design allows the bar to be mounted to the front seat belt mounts and to the rear strut towers (stronger mounting points). For superior strength and rigidity, the bar utilizes "X" braces on both front and rear sections and each joint has been meticulously TIG welded by hand. Bolt-in installation is accomplished by using Inner Diameter Tube Clamps that are CNC turned and milled for a precise fit. These unique joints allow us to eliminate the more traditional slip fit tubes with an unsightly through-bolt and nut. Here are some pictures of installation process and additional information that that we would like to share:

As good as it gets. Really, really nice work. I won't ever have nor need a roll bar/cage in our white GT3, but if we did, it would be one of these.

Rolex in 5 days, be safe out there....

all the best....
