Harness bars and mounts

godzilla-1 · 09-17-2018, 01:00 AM

I have just installed a custom set of recaro sportster seats and the next job is to install my harnesses. Any ideas ? I can't see anything listed for our car anymore.

Still not found anything regarding harness bars for 1M

Depends if your after a halfcage which GRID (in the uk) can do a boltin version.

You can actually make up an harness bar to go just behind the rear seats, behind the side carpet panels there are 2 brackets already inplace, and just need a bar welded to the endplates.

Pic of one had made up a few years back

I don't really want a rear cage. A harness bar as shown in the pic would do what I require. Anyone got one laying around ? It doesn't look like there is anything available off the shelf anymore. The brr bar would be better as it mounts closer to the rear of the front seats and the harnesses that I already have aren't quite long enough to reach as far back as would be required to use the bar in the pic above.

Any halfway decent fabrication shop should be able to make one if you can't find a prefabbed model.

Call around to some local speed shops.
