Harness Bar??

So where do I get a cheap bolt in harness bar? The only one I have seen is like $350. Seems kinda steep for a bent piece of steel?

I only know that Sparco sells them, but probably not for our appliations. It is indeed very expensive for a bar.

True to this, but most off name brand parts mimic the name brand parts identically (same factory in some cases). I was just wondering if there was a cheaper off name brand that would work.

I still cant get anybody to answer me about the harness bars, I've sent a guy a pm twice and he still wont send it back to me. I have no clue who even makes expensive ones for our cars. I emailed sparco along time ago about their new ones and they dont have one for our cars.

find a welding shop and have them build you one to spec. otherwise just bolt it down to the rear seatbelt anchors

yeah, it would be a pain in a coupe if you used the back seat
But even better in a 4 door becuase you can still get in.

Well I dont allow anyone to ride in my back seat anyway, so this would just cut it off even more.

I've seen that harness bar in lots of magazines, Ill look around and get back to you on who the original maker is.

*Update* Found it. It is indeed made by Sparco. They do not have our application.

Well really you're not supposed to mount harnesses that low cause if you have a wreck they will pull you down into the seat and crush your spine.
