FD 4-POINT bolt-in ROLL BAR
Correct.
Drilled and attached to reinforcement plate on the other (outside) side of the car.
Not too bad. I have Spirit-R seats and sit pretty close, but no issues.

Can you confirm what is suppose to come in the hardware kit?
I currently have nothing to attach the cage to the strut tower boxes. The boxes are tapped, but there is no hardware that fits it.

We could add a small laser cut bracket with a 9/16" hole. Very few people have requested that. I think its because these are mostly used on the street.
It also fits the sunroof cars. The top of the Hoop is Approximately 4" forward of the rear hatch.

I think the harness question pertains to something limiting lateral movement of the harness after it's wrapped around the bar.

They wont let you on the track with your harness attached to the STB. I saw a guy get meatballed for that.

Any safety harness will allow a certain percentage of stretch, so the longer the belt, the more overall stretch it will allow. To minimize shoulder-belt length, the belts should mount to a rollcage bar almost directly behind the driver’s seat and approximately level with his or her shoulder blades (or slightly higher).

I think the simplest solution is to weld in a piece of 1 1/4" X.120 or larger dom tube. It only needs one 1/2" bung for the drivers harness. Im not really sure of the best way to make that adjustable or if its really necessary. I'm open to new ideas?

Hi Justin,
nice to see you offering something on our board. it appears to be your usual really well engineered piece. i may have a need to order your bolt in rollbar for delivery in August. do you anticipate availability? also, i would need a lateral belt bar which i can fab or you can fab.
LMK on avail.
i run a T56 behind my 2 rotor and your rear diff mount has been onboard since 2012.
thanks,
Howard

Hi Howard,
The parts for these are in stock and try and keep one bar that has been assembled in stock at all times.
Its good to here that you are still running the stock rear end housing without issue...
