Do I need both? I bought the UMI frame connectors and then came across a good deal on a Wolf 4 point and belts. It's a bolt in bar.
I wouldn't think I need both, but as always my ears are open. Weight is my enemy. |

A bolt-in roll bar isn't going to attach to any real structural member.
And it's a lot of weight for a shoulder harness attachment point. Can't go wrong with UMI. |

Mitch, I really appreciate your steering me in the right direction. And don't stop giving me direction. The bar I bought is on here in the for sale section, a Wolf made from 1.750 dom. I have always had a fear of a roll over. I have a bar in my drag car also. These cars don't have much roof structure and mine has t tops. Besides its a good mount for a camera and a 5 point harness. Oh Yeh if the car ever gets on its lid it will come in handy. |

These cars don't have much roof structure and mine has t tops. We cut the roof off of Glenn's race car to remove the cage and I was amazed at the web of heavy gauge sheets in the C pillar. Now, it doesn't have any cross bracing. But I bet a well placed horizontal member going from striker to striker and cross brace would give much more rigidity and roll over protection than a bolt-in 4-point. |
