I know Sparco makes a harness bar, its not direct fit and would more than likely need modification to work.

 

they sell a complete roll cage on ebay for like 250 shipped , has to be welded but still would only cost a little more than that bs harness bar , and it will also add structurul integrity , safty , and a great place to mount your harnesses.

 

Got a link?

Those three things probably shouldnt all be in the same sentence. Just a thought though.

I emailed Dejon to see if they had any interest in making these and he said no.

 

I'm in the same boat since I just found out you should not anchor them into the floor unless you don't like your spine. I read a old post that JM Fab was going to make one but that was a year ago. I just checked on the site and I saw nothing. I just installed my DAD seat and now need a harness and a mounting point.

 

There is another thread going on about this topic right now. If you guys are not ready to splurge on the harness bar or a cage quite yet then the upper rear seatbelt mounts should work fine. The angle will be correct as long as the hanesses are long enough to reach you don't use your backseat(who really does?).

 

I don't have my back seats in so that's not a problem. Anyone have pics of using the back seat mounts?

Are you sure its at the correct angle to pass tech at the track? I really dont want to spend the time installing my recaros and harness to drive 2 hrs to the track to fail tech.

 

There's a reason no one likes to make them, in the event of an accident your seat is held upright and without a cage you'll lose your head in a rollover. They are too dangerous in street cars unless you have an entire cage. I work in a chassis fab shop and we will not make harness bars under any circumstances.

 

Dam I have a complete cage in my garage ready to go in but I really dont want to install it until I absolutly need to since its heavy as all hell. I guess I will just keep rocking the stock seats and belts until Im forced to toss in a cage and my race seats.

 

Chromoley FTW!

Oh I know I will prob end up selling the 1 I have to pick up a chromoly. Its still added weight that I really dont need with the 14b but once I upgrade turbos there wont me much an option after getting kicked off tracks.

Wouldn't the stock one do the same thing? If you rollover what's to protect your head?

My statement was based upon functionality. Meaning I would be combftorable running my car with the harnesses secured in that manner. I am not privy to the specifics of NHRA tech rules and therefore will not comment on that part. If you have the specific rule I can give you my best opinion though.

You dont' have a choice to duck or lean or move, you're stuck upright period. Not only that most seats in newer cars are designed to lean backwards in the event of a rollover. I've seen a c5 do this first hand, convertible c5 rolled in front of me, the guy got out wiht only scratches.

 

The shoulder strap allows you to slouch or lean in the event of a rollover, as a harness combined with a harness bar holds you upright leaving you no where to go and no cage to roll on... Leaving your neck and spine to take the impact and the weight of the car. Nothing beats a cage and harness.

edit: ^you beat me to it^

 

If so, then a harness bar, or having a harness in that is angled correctly with no cage is dangerous? What's the point of having the straps bolted down at said correct angle if the harness will keep you pinned upright anyway?

The bar keeps the seat upright.

 

I see what you guys are saying now I guess there isn't that much play in a 4pt harness. I would still think you would be able to duck or slouch a little in a event of a rollover you would think but maybe not.

I can[t even close my door with the harness on it wont' let me reach that far.

 

I guess I'm gonna have to see about using the stock belts. The problem is the side part where the belt clicks in doesn't bolt to my DAD seats. There is no way to mount up that bracket but I'm going to have to fab something up. It's gonna look weird with the seats and stock belt.

 

A friend of mine is going to start making harness bars for 2G's soon if enough interest can be raised. Prices will vary depending on how many people would want one, but will be much cheaper than the DG as his overhead is non-existant

 

Like I said there's a reason people don't make them.

 

I understand that the bar keeps the seat upright if you roll over, but i'm talking about strictly the harness. What's the point in having the harness bolted down at a certain angle?

+1. With my harness in I can barely turn around to back up. I had to learn how to use my sideview mirrors.
