Default Bar wrap?
Does anyone know where I can source this grip tape for harness bar? Seen it on many bars but can't seem to locate. Thank you!

Suggest collars instead

You don't want higher friction material rubbing on your harness

+1. Skip the grip tape. You want it to move freely around the bar. Collars are cheap

I'm guessing it's this stuff:

But I'd skip it and grab this instead:

get these collars from McMaster Carr in either aluminum or delrin. I have the aluminum ones, they're nice. $12 each in 1 1/2" Look identical to those turner ones.

delrin or aluminum

Does anyone know the exact diameter of the club sport factory roll bar? I know its metric but wondering if 1 1/4 or 1 3/8 is closer.

Not sure. Could grab a cheap harbor freight caliper to verify.

I checked it with a caliper. It's actually 1.59"
That must be equivalent to 40mm.

Stupid question, should the collars go on the inside of harnesses or outside?
