I have not found anyone making them for our cars, at least the 2g. My friend however makes them and will be putting one in my car, but if you want one let me know and i can have him make you one. Otherwise, you can bolt them to the seatbelt brackets for the rear passenger seat behind you, but it would be better to have a harness bar behind you or rollcage to attach the harness to.

yeah sorry bout that...i was thinking the word but didnt mean to put it down
We have one coming out in a week or so prices very very competitively. Mine will look like the above but we have another version coming out shortly after should strengthen the chassis as well. I'll put up a new product announcement when they are ready. My car is going in today for measuring and test fits.
Or if you want the whole roll bar, autopower makes bolt in cages for 2G's.
My friend makes rollcages and this along that nature for a living. His work is inspected an receives the DOT, FIA, and i forget the other one but, they are professionally inspected to make sure they are up to standards. So yeah i trust his work. And sorry, i had never seen any place that sold these harness bars, thanks for the link. Brandon [VFRacing]

did you guys ever release a harness bar, do you ave a link???
also is it just as safe to mount the top of the harness to the rear seat bolts? or is it recommended to get a harness bar and are the scrotch harnesses the best has anyone had any goo dluch with the corbeau harnesses.
Good thing I ran accross this thread. Im putting in my new racing seats and four point harnesses this weekend. I was going to fab up a way to bolt them to the seat bracket but now I may end up making the harness bar or bolting them to the rear seat belt brackets. 250 a little bit for some pipe and a couple of welded on flanges in my opinion. But not everyone has a machine shop at their access so I guess its not too bad. Did they just mount that harness bar to the old rear seat belt brackets? I dont know too much about harness bars so I'll do some searching now. Thanks.
P.S. after doing some research man those things are expensive! For a few bucks in materials, an hour or less of weld time theyre making a lot of money off those things. Is there any way you could measure the length of the bar they used and flange thickness? Their ad says its 1.5 od. I'll make my own in the shop. Thanks

lemme know how yours turns out when you make yours
what kind of harness belts are people having good luck with and im assuming that everoyne mounts their aftermarket harness to the rear seat belt bolts if they dont have a harness bar. what do you guys think of this harness

Looks good. Sparco is a good brand, expensive, but good.
