The rings on the bar are to hold the harness straps in the correct place on the bar - this is especially important if you are using a HANS device.

the rubber pces on harness bar is not strong enough to hold harness in place if you kiss a wall. i would assum you will get a HANS device. HANS had direction as to how far the shoulder belts must be at, but they alwasy move around. most of the CA spec miata guys use a split locking ring over the harness bar on each side of the harness to make sure the belts dont get too far apart. i use the split rings too.

Not even a digital camera on your phone? All those track events and a single desire to capture anything on camera???

There is hope. Just run down to your local JuCo and enroll in "Welcome to the year 2006"

or go to http://www.mcmaster.com and search for "shaft collar" and look for the "Two Piece Clamp-On Shaft Collar" for the right inner diameter.
