4 POINT HARNESS
For the sake of safety, I want to put harnesses in my roadster. I used them in my RX-7, and I really liked the feeling of being strapped in. Has anyone installed them with a stock type roll bar? I am wondering about mounting the shoulder straps. I am having my roll bar custom made, and I'm wondering if I should put a cross bar in it below the top hoop. Any ideas?

I was planning on anchoring the belts just below the shelf on the vertical part and backup the mount with large steel bar or unistrut. Is the angle bad? They were wrap around shoulder straps converted to bolt in, so they are a bit short. Stock seats no headrests. By the way, does the buckle on a Simpson latch type belt matter which side it's on? Didn't think it did, but while I'm typing..

I have read somewhere else that the harness should mount at shoulder level. I'll definitley put a bar in. It looks like the hoop has to come up from the floor and then angle back to clear the seats. I guess since my seats have been moved back, I'll have to put a little more angle on it. Anyone have experience building a bar?

The import tuner magazines have all kinds of stuff, some bolt in with a hefty two bolt 360 degree clamp and then you cut the bar to length.
Plus you can find all kinds of cool wings, neon and spinny things that, when combined in the proper color combinations, will effectivly double your horsepower!!!
