Black Porsche 997 Carrera BBi StreetCup Roll Bar Install



Black Porsche 997 Carrera Gets BBi StreetCup Roll Bar / Harness Bar Installed


(Click on images for higher resolution)



We took delivery this super clean Black Porsche 997 Carrera , already upgraded with a GT2 style body conversion, and installed our Street Cup Roll Barwith a custom red finish to properly mount harnesses and increase protection. Available through Pelican Parts, 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), and still be compatible with the factory Bose subwoofers. Other similar roll bars on the market are not compatible with the subwoofer. 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:
