996.1 GT3 Club Sport front cage?

[kkerr3]

I have a MY2000 996.1 GT3 Club Sport. It has the rear cage fitted but missing the front part of the cage. It looks like most of them were removed if the car is being used predominately for road use.

Is it possible to buy a replacement front section? I understand the original manufacturer, Matter who supplied Porsche went out of business in the early 2000's.

The later 996 GT3 Club Sports were fitted with IVM manufactured cages. These look to be more accessabile.

Does anyone know if the front IVM manufactured cage is compatible with the rear Matter manufactured cage?

Contact BVD Brombacher in Germany ... they had some ... I bought one from them a few years ago.

This might help, I’ve just re-fitted mine into my 996.1 GT3 CS coincidentally.

Problem sorted. Reasonable price too - for the real thing.

This cage is off a 996.2 GT3 CS, do you know if it is compatible with a 996.1 GT3 CS? I believe Porsche changed supplier for cages between the .1 and .2

Remember looking at one of these for a cayman once, seen a couple of bad YouTube reviews about fitment, put me off in the end.
