Hey guys, found this rollbar for p cheap, but I'm not sure what kind it is.

The guy selling it listed it as a roll bar and nothing else

So yeah, the tubing is about 1.5", the mount plates are all about 4x4".
The bars all go straight, there are no bends like a hard dog roll bar.
The main hoop also has threaded holes.

There are no stickers or manufacturer stamps on it


Anyone have any idea?

Only other roll bar I've seen with that sort of mount in the middle, although this one is welded together

Maybe they had it made for the car?

That'd be a bit odd but I suppose it's possible!

What is the reason for the bars in the center there?

Extra Rigidity?

I just realized that those aren't the sun visors. Man I need to wake up. But does it really add that much rigidity?

Huh, my other response didn't go through or something.. But the owner of that car (Koich on Car Domain) lists them as custom Brightning braces.

It probably does help, if only a little.

Looks like Autopower to me, with extra holes drilled through it
