Well I have mentioned it in a couple of threads regarding harness guide bars but I never included any pictures.

I was home this weekend from school so I took a few.

For $154 to my door you cant beat it.

sweet, what exactley does it mount to?

Looks like b-pillar 3 point holes.

but where are those peices attatched to at the floor? or are my eyes playing tricks?

UncleMaz

Hmmm, have no idea.

Lowers probably mount to the same point as the floor for the standard 3 pts, at least that would be the place to use without having to drill/tap/weld.

^that would make sense

looks like upper and lower seatbelt mountings...

Correct. The bar mounts at the shoulder belt thing and the lap belt thing. Sorry for my car being a mess, my mom didn't appreciate my seats taking up our mudroom so she put them in there haha.

I bought this same bar last year. It is very sturdy and well manufactured.

How is the fit and finish? I have seen these on ebay before but wasn't sure if anyone had actually bought one.

I am just curious. Do you plan to drive the car on the street/track with the 4 points? Does the car have a full roll cage? If so, do you plan to wear a helmet when driving on the street if you plan to street the car?

The reason I ask is this.

If you wear 4 points and the car flips, they keep you nice and upright in the seat.

If you don't have a cage, the roof will come up/down on you, and being strapped so securely in with 4pt harnesses you will basically be squished.

If you DO have a cage, and you are not wearing a helmet, think of how much fun all that metal tubing would be in a crash with your head bouncing off of it, yes, of course you would have your 4 pt harness on, but what if you decide it is a bit much trouble for a quick run to 7/11?

I'm not trying to be negative about your car, harnesses or anything. I just want to make sure we are all safe.

Of course, all this is negated if you retain and use the factory seatbelts though I am not sure how well they work with race buckets.

Colin, the fit and finish is pretty good for what you pay. I gave the guy a drawing so he could make the loops how i wanted.

I plan to have the bar in on the street, although I will be using the factory seatbelts. I'll be using 6pt harnesses for the track. I don't have any rollbar or rollcage.

I'm no expert, but they will more than likely NOT let you run harnesses with out a roll cage. For the same reason I told you before about being crushed in the event of a roll over.

If you are going so far as to put the harness bar in, the seats and the harness itself, why not go the extra mile and add a bolt in roll cage?

plus they look sexy painted the same color as the car
