Lets see your aftermarket seats!

I run BGTV8's harness bar. I think he bought the tooling from the shop that built them but I doubt it would be very cheap to get another made. It's safety calculation you should make yourself though. As an FYI I had no problem with NASA inspections for HPDE and I doubt there would be any issue with it in TT either.

Still disagree. The cheap thin sheet metal the bars bolted to is not meant to withstand your body at 2-3-4-5-6-7 etc G force pulling on it when you smash into a wall. The bar can be tough as **** but the sheet metal will be no different than paper at high speed. You're going to break your face on the steering wheel.

The harness bar I'm talking about bolts to the upper seat belt bolts and anchors at the rear strut tower area. Or are you talking about the Robispec type bar that replaces the factory bar in the hatch?

I thought sig11 was talking about a robispec type.

It's not for me. There's a reason NASA and SCCA force you to have a diagonal bar installed in a roll cage from the top to the opposite bottom. They don't want the harness bar to collapse. I see this bar being really no different than this...which resulted in death and ejection through the front window. This was two people though pulling on the bar which was probably thousands of pounds of force.
