I'd like to try and sell this as a local pickup item at first-then I'll consider shipping.
I have an LG Harness bar that's been painted black. The bolt tabs have been cut off the bar on the driver's side since they interfered with a wrap-around harness (nor were they ideally located for a bolt-in one IMHO). $150 Pics to come tonight. Located near Louisville, KY robmeadway@gmail.com |

I've got this bar already and it's really nice. No cutting required. You remove the rear seat belt shoulder harness and the Bar attaches to the seat belts upper mount. There already is a hole in the interior panel to accommodate the seat belt so no cutting is required. My only complaint is that it's a little flexible. It would be great if it triangulated down to the lower seat belt mount, but for AutoX it's good enough, especially if you really crank down your belts, that takes up all the movement.
Keep in mind that the rear seat becomes usless and it will be impossible to carry 4 315's in the car once you have the harness bar, that is if you do this? |

I have one and it is nice. A friend who owns it (and is letting me borrow it going on 3 years now) did put bars that go from the harness bar to the lower seat belt mounting point; stiffened it right up. And as MLS mentioned ,the back seat becomes worthless.

Doesn't anyone have the dimensions, drawings, etc for this bar because I might be interested in building it myself..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Doesn't anyone have the dimensions, drawings, etc for this bar because I might be interested in building it myself..... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Can't help ya on that one... I have a vert. Convertibles use a seatbelt mount that is more towards the center of the vehicle, and the tower that surrounds them is easy to remove. I've considered a bolt-in roll bar design using the those for rear mounts, and welding on plates/peg for the hoop. No it wouldn't pass SCCA, NHRA, or most any other tech, but it would allow me to set up the bar as I wanted, see how it's like to drive without a rear seat, and then perma-weld it if I liked it. this "was" a daily driver until the engine rebuild. With the new engine and exhaust its not exactly a cruiser anymore, and I realistically think the bars would be more likely to find "use" for them. The REASON for a bolt-in 4-point would be solely for this: Driving schools. Local lapping days and driving schools require a 4-point for any car with decent balls... 500hp qualifies. As a result, I've given this more consideration. If I can bolt one in to secure a 5-point harness, qualify as a 4-point bar, and help tie-in my vert's chasis a bit more on lapping/instruction days, it may be worth it. I'll probably end up with a 10-sec NHRA 6-point with removable swing outs and SCCA lower-runner bar if the car gets offical "toy" status... but a bolt-in bar gives me options for daily use while just taking lessons and resale in the future (I imagine a bolt-in bar would be a selling point to the average buyer, while a welded-in permanent bar would be a deal breaker for most). And yes, I really have used my rear seats on the rare occasion. I'm still of the opinion though that a welded plate and peg could be anchored inside the rear plastic covers if done right... but it'd require either cutting a hole in the covers, or fabricating a "custom" fiberglass cover to replace the stock one (which would have the added benefit of eliminating the speaker grills and maybe welding a plate over the speaker hole) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Sorry for the delay for those that asked for shipping quotes...I work for the local utility company and have been working 16's and sometimes 24/hours a day for over the past week...in addition I've been without electrical power at my own house so I will get back with a shipping quote asap.
In addition for those that are simply replying to this thread for dimensions and other chit-chat-please stop. This is a for sale thread and it is impolite towards other seller's in classifieds to have my post bumped up needlessly. I'll actually take measurements for you guys, just make a thread in another part of the board. In my opinion, you're better off going blind and making it to your car as much as these cars vary. |
