Out of curiosity what made you sink the $$$ into the bar? Are you planning to use it as a harness mount point? Are those flanges to which the bar mounts really stout enough for that type of an application?

Well to make a long story short i sunk some money with Relentless Autosports to get them to make a full roll bar w/ harness bar and it fell through, so i was looking for another option...and found the amuse bar. What made it easier was Baker Nissan had this one on one of their 370zs out back, and had another bar on the way so they just pulled this bar off the car and gave it to me plus cut me a deal.

To answer the second part of your question, i was going to use it for a harness bar, and mount my 4 point to it...BUT contrary to what i had been told, you cant really adjust it to get the mount holes facing the driver. The bar is designed with the R/H drive 370z in mind. And its not safe to mount 2 eye bolts to it facing straight up, then put a harness on it. SO.....i think i have a piece of shiny metal.... eh, i really do like the look of it in the car tho so im not really crying...

As far as the flanges go yes i think they are strong enough to hold in the event of an accident or crash but im not an expert at such things. They mount to the car with 4 bolts and then are tied in to the bottom flanges through the strut bar with 2 more bolts. the ones in the bottom are welded i believe to the frame.

Ill be posting pics and everything else a bit more but Non Stop Tuning is going to do a Blog Entry on my car so im going to wait untill after that comes out before posting more pics.

Sorry OP wasnt trying to jack your thread although i guess i did

Im going to have to, but i don't like that they can slide from side to side and that over time they will damage the finish on the metal from rubbing.... But i guess it probably doesn't matter at my level. Ahh well.

Tape the bar under the webbing and use Zip-ties or something else for stops. Seems simple to do..
