Default Anybody with an Autopower Roll Bar?

Cross post from 964 Forum

Just got mine via the shipper today, and it's not entirely clear exactly where it bolts in. Does anybody on the board have one installed, and maybe pictures of the pickup points on the floor, and the wheel well.

Going to try and get it powder coated white as well.

I had one, in an early 911. mine bolted to the rear fender well, and the floor. w/ backing plates on the outside of each location.

if you can weld in larger pads for the 'feet' thats safer...

I think I started drilling on the fender well's 1st then the floor. it will pull the floor up some.

Drilled the floor and the wheel wells. Used backer plates in all 4 locations. Pull the interior side panels as well. I purchased extra panels from LA Disman. and cut a slot to accomodate the bar - saved the original panels in case I want to reverse.....

I have one as well.

Check that all bolts have room to go in (the angle of the bars in mounting plates is not designed well and in one of my plates, there was no room for a bold to go in without modification).

It's pretty good but there will be modifications needed. Kinda makes me wish I'd gone with welded in gage if I'm honest.
