Roll bar with harness bar
Who sells these items...What are my options.
Can I get a roll bar from 1 company and the harness bar from another?
Or is it an all in 1 type of deal?
thanks
Dwane

I got the Autopower roll bar, and it has the harness bar built in, but it can be ordered as removable.
Some people don't like this bar, because it bolts into the sheet metal of the floor and the wheel wells. It is not too difficult to install, but you do need to either remove or cut holes in some interior panels.

Like Bill mentioned, I too have the DAS bolt in "weekender" bar with integrated harness bar.
I skipped the weld-on loops for the harnesses though (like his picture shows) as I was told they are always in the wrong place and not needed anyways.

Bill and Mark, If you have more pics, I would love to see how you improved on the harness bar loops. I am going with the DAS roll bar.
Is the harness bar removable?
I am new to this and have not paid much attention to safety. This is my new priority. I would rather copy what someone is happy with, then try 5 different setups to be happy!
thanks guy's

Hi Dwane,
As far as I know, if you get the DAS Sport Bolt-in (true bolt in) then the harness bar is not removable as it is welded to the rest of the bar. If you get the AutoPower bar then the harness bar is removable (not sure why you would want to do this) but remember, this one requires you to drill holes (12) to mount it in your car. When you get the DAS, don't bother with the welded loops. It is easy to add your own harness guides. I used roll bar padding and tie-wraps to create harness locating points.

The thing to be careful to get right is that there needs to be a straight fetch from your shoulder thru the seat holes to the fastening bar. We are all different sizes so what works for one driver/bar/seat combo may not work for another. The black car uses DAS bar & Recaro Pole Position seats, because of my height that wouldn't work for me in an identical car so I used DAS bar & Recaro XPG XL seats

Dwane - here is a shot of mine (DAS bolt-in and Recaro SPG seats).
This shot was during install so the harnesses are not tightened up yet nor secured but I used zip ties and hot-water insulation foam to locate the harnesses.

Is it like a child's car seat type of locking clip?
