F-16s are 9G aircraft, and only in the proper configuration. You can youtube "G-LOC" to see what Gs can do to you in a sustained maneuver, but they are aren't hitting 12G... the on board computers prevent it. In a car accident however, you need to worry about the VERY high spikes in G load. A rapid (and brief) onset of 9G isn't a game ender... you MIGHT pass you (depending on the direction of pull), but the thing to be concerned with is the very high peak Gs experienced with a car crash. G forces that are perpendicular to the spine are much more survivable than those that are parallel to it. Sorry to revive this thread... just thought I'd chime in. ![]() |

The bolts that go through the mounting plates and hold the brace are about 8", but replacement braces do not use these bolts, instead they bolt to where the mounting plates attach on the side of the chassis. Those bolts are only about 1" long.

Robin's bar does use those bolts. Its main attachment is the seat belt upper mounts and then uses the stock bar bolts for locating the bottom of the bar. A very nice design, imo.

Auto power has no reference to the 370, only the 350. Why is it so hard to find products for this car?
Robispec and amuse both dropped out of making harness/strut bar, can't find one anywhere.

Sounds like they did not??? If they didn't, I guess I got lucky lol. Mine is awesome. Was a pain in the *** to install (or so I was told). But it turned out fantastic. I'll see if I can post photos. |
