Anyone recognise this roll bar?

As per the title, anyone recognise this rollbar?

I got it used and initially though it was a Brown Davis but upon getting it home, it definitely isn't. Another forum I'm on has seen someone say it looks like something they commissioned in Brisbane years ago, but I wanted to put the feelers out all the same.

BD clone?

Postby greenMachine » Sun Apr 05, 2020 11:34 am

Looks like a BD clone, with a bar for shoulder harness. But holes in flat brace look like harness locations too. Overall I'd be happier with the BD's wider (I think) rear flat bracing but the harness bar pretty much balances that out.

If you want to register that bar, unless you can find the manufacturer (and probably even then), you will have to 'self-certify' it. I have done that twice, once for the racecar cage, once for my BD. Happy to assist if you go down that path.
