In this section we will document the fabrication of the roll-bar as installed by the Porsche factory in the three Monte Carlo 914-6 GT cars https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/22237400 - To see a more detailed close-up of the factory roll bar installed, please follow these links; https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/90476329 - https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/90491841 - https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/89287666 - https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/22285841

There are several different implementations of the roll-bar in the GT's and these samples can be seen here https://pbase.com/9146gt/my9146gt_rollbar_samples

Originally, I was going to have the center brace fabricated like this https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/96109898 - https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/89287352 as well as the Lufthansa GT https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/89287909 but changed my mind and will now model it after the Monte Carlo 914-6 GT cars https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/54417592

One more thing, I believe the forward lateral tubes were only added to these cars later on in life to get them in compliance with current safety rules, for that reason, I'm fabricating two styles roll-bars; one which will be vintage correct while the other for track events (either configuration can be easily unbolted and removed from the car).
