If you find yourself anywhere near Philly, there's one sitting in my parents' garage.

QUOTE (JKnight @ Jan 29 2006, 20:33) What's a harness bar? Jason Just a bar which allows the mounting of a shoulder harness in a car without a roll bar/cage. I know, not ideal but it would only be used for autocross. Like this: http://www.lmperformance.com/2943/13.html LG's, formerly Groves, is the only one I know of for an F-body. I'm considering just a straight piece of dom tube betwem the b-pillars, but I'm not sure if it would be strong enough on that sheet metal or not. |

I've seen alot of C4 Corvette guys with those things. They claim it also stiffen's up the rear like a strut tower brace. Does it do the same for F-bods?

And this really isn't the section of the board to discuss it. But I will say I have no doubt you could put a pvc tube in there paint it black and a bunch of 'vette owners would claim it were stiffer. |

CSC Racing in Newmarket Ontario Canada made mine for a 97 Z28 Hartop. It mounts on the rear seat shoulder points and keeps the belts intact. They also installed clips at the belt points and a mount for the sub belt. I have pics.
All in installed cost CDN$200. After that a friend had one made for his 2001 WS6 convertible. Mounts on the front shoulder points, installs in 5 minutes. They may have kept jigs to make more without the car. CSC RACING |

I have a red powder coated one from LG Motorsports. I paid something like $225 - $250 for it back a few years ago. It is still in great shape. It is has been in the car the entire time until just a few weeks ago when I pulled it out.
PM me. |

Dan, do you still have the harness bar, and is it for sale? I'd have to call my folks to make sure, but considering they never throw anything out, I'm willing to go with "Yes". The bar was in decent condition - some scrapes from general usage (read: throwing crap in the back), and one large scrape through the powder coating that came from the initial shipping from LG to me. I'm not sure if I know where the hardware to mount it is anymore, though - but scrounging that up shouldn't be hard. |

See what you can find, and if you could, could you take pics of the damage.
BTW, what color is it? |

I should add that my harness bar you saw in the safety & erognomics section was painted with Rustoleum textured black.

Black, powdercoated. The damage is just scraping of the powdercoating. The bar itself is fully intact, and some black touch up paint would make it look brand new.
I can't seem to find the pics I took a long time ago... sorry. |

I suppose somewhere around $50, mostly for my parent's time as they'd have to handle the transaction. Cheap, I know, but I'm not getting any use out of it, so might as well pass it along. |

Dan, I can arrange for UPS to pick it up if you parents could package it.
Are all the brackets included? |

Sorry for the delay - had to get in touch with the folks. There are no brackets for the harness bar. There are tabs welded into it for clip-in harnesses, and there's a flat mounting plate on either end with two holes that bolts into the stock seatbelt location. All it requires are some bolts / washers / nuts, which I do not believe are with it. My dad said he'd be happy to measure it / take it to UPS to get it wrapped - he has no idea how to wrap it to their standards before then. As a warning, I tried to ship it before via UPS, but since it was oversized (it's apparently just outside of the length dimension), it was around $100 to go from Philly to Georgia. So that's why it's still sitting with my folks. Unfortunately, my dad has a business trip this week, so the soonest he'd be able to get to this would be next week some time - is that okay? |
