harness bar?
hey guys, i just ordered some seats for my 7 and wanted to get some new harnesses as well. i would like to get some kind of harness bar to mount them to, and i would rather not get one of the autopower roll bars that a harness can mount to. does any one know where i can get one? or have plans for making one?

Overall I am agains the use of a 4 point harness in a car that doesn't have a roll bar. In a roll over if you are in a 4 point harness you cannot duck out of the way of the roof. |

what are you going to do with your car? If you are intending on running your car in open track events i would not recommend the use of a harness bar.

I think that's what i am going to do. thanks for the feedback guys.

If you are just looking for a way to hold yourself in for auto-x a harness bar is fine, I've only seen two cars roll at an auto-x. One was a Rabbit GTI, one was an Omni GLHS.
3rd or 4th on the roll bar ditto. But if you want a harness bar PM me, I've got an FB chassis at the shop to use as a fixture and I can powdercoat it whatever color you want. I can do a bolt in roll bar as well. |
I have a harness bar that is practically new I will sell. I was using it in autocross and it was fine. Now I am doing HPDE's and Time Trials.....out with the harness bar and in with the roll bar!
PM me if interested. $50 |
I would recommend a Schrothe Rallye 3 Harness if you haven't bought them yet. You can get away without the harness bar (should tie into the rear luggage straps) and would be much safer than a traditional 4-point without a rollcage. They're designed to that in the event of a severe hit, the inside strap will break. This allows your body to roll to the inside as a traditional 3-point would do.
http://www.schrothracing.com/store/t...allye/rallye-3 I used this setup on my BMW 533i for autox and rallyx. Probably get another set to put in the GTO if I autocross it this year. |
rallyx in a give series... My jaw just dropped.

Five series. Typo.
