Also interested in the harness bar option. Currently in the market to order, like the look of everything except running the harness to the strut.
So the plan is to design a harness bar with 2 bends in it. The ends will have 3/4 rod ends that use 1/2 bolts. Im then going to triangulate a 1" swedged tube connected with rod ends to adjust it. It should be pretty trick! Im then going to eliminate at least two if not all of the 1 1/4" braces at the top. I think it looks cleaner and reduces material and labor cost..

I think I kind of liked those braces at the top but I'm excited to see a mock-up of what you have in your head! Thanks for the update.
This is what I have so far.... The 1/2 rod ends on the diagonal aren't wide enough. Other than that the range of motion is more than anyone will ever need!
Is the point of the diagonal cross bar & mounting holes so that someone has the ability to rotate the harness bar in order to raise or lower it's position in relation to the seats? That was incredibly clever!
Would you be willing to run this design by SCCA and NASA to see what they say? I know there is a an older thread talking about if this cage would pass their requirements or not.
I already have the cage, so picking up the harness bar components and never having to worry about upgrading the cage again (unless going full weld in) would be a perfect.
I don't mind doing that. Id like to get a little further with the design. They may not like the tube sizes or the single brace design. I have scissor like X-brace that I also had in mind for plan B if this isn't going to be enough. It requires a cnc machined part to make it all work.
The part still needs some more work but you get the idea.
going to be enough. It requires a cnc machined part to make it all work.
Also does it clear the bins to fully open it looks like it just checking. Just waiting for the scca stuff and whatnot in case any small changes happen before ordering. looks great.
We did this for one of you guys last week. It has a fixed harness bar and an a rear X- brace. I offer like this to anyone who wants one. $1200 plus shipping.
