Harness bar options - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Olddudesrule · 03-19-2016, 12:33 PM

I've tried to search for options on the forum and online, but the only two seem to keep coming up, the Ciper and the Brey Krause. The BK is definitely the more stout of the two, but does more seriously limit the use of the backseat unless my passengers are wearing helmets (not that I've had anyone back there in the last six months). Can anyone offer me other options, short of a four or six point cage. Not looking to go that drastic at this point, but want an option for mounting four or five point harnesses, a fire extinguisher and GoPro. Just doing HPDE's right now, and may run the Silver State in Sept.

Putting someone in the back seat with a bar in front of their face, helmet or not, is a death wish. The BK is much higher quality and can come out in under 10 minutes once you do the initial mounting plate installs.

Synner is right. The BK bar is the only one worth buying in my opinion. If you're going to do a bar and don't want to do a cage then buy the best bar you can. Also if you want to run 5 or 6 point harness' then don't forget that you will need tank plates for under the seats for the belts to hook into. I was going to buy the BK bar and ended up building all my own system.

Is that angle on the bar with the belts proper? Please check

Nice looking set up. If had a welder and some skill, I could save quite a bit of money.. Leaning towards the BK system. Appreciate the advice.

Yep checked multiple times. They are 10 degrees down from my shoulders to the bar. I did lots of checking before welding it!

You're very welcome! Good luck! JDP Motorsports sells the BK bar and stuff you need. I talked to them about it. Jordan was super helpful. You could give them a call.

Yeah don't waste your time on the Cipher bar. I had it and used it once before removing. The quality just wasn't there.

Olddudesrule · 03-22-2016, 06:09 PM

Nice setup, do they sell the tank plates you mention? (No way am I running a 4-point, and not sure some track organizations even allow it, so this is a necessity.)

MRB, do you know what extinguisher bracket that is?
can you reach it with the harnesses on?

MRBZ28 · 03-23-2016, 09:55 PM

I bought the bracket from Summit racing equipment Part # Joe-12822 $146.95

I haven't tried to reach it with the harness on.
