I didn't see an install for a harness bar so I made one today as I did my install. Please feel free to comment or ask questions.
Four point harness install added

Do you have pictures of the belts installed. Do they connect directly to the bar or do they fasten to an anchor point?

I haven't installed the belts yet. They came with D-links on the end of the shoulder belts. I can connect them to the bar directly but I will need to cut of the D-links so I can wrap them properly. I'm not sure how I would connect them to another mounting point yet. I've been looking at a Tank plate but not 100% it would hook to that unless I had something to from the eye bolts on that tank plate to the D-link on the harness. I'm still working it out in my head.
I did get the two inch four point harness so I'm not sure if the 3 inch five point is the same.

Thanks for starting a thread back up since the group buy closed down. My shipment has been stuck in Cali since last week according to tracking. Awaiting a call back from FedEx to see what's up.

Hopefully you all figure out the best way to do the belts before I start my install.

I'm gonna look at it again tomorrow. Which belts did you get?

This is great. I am going to do this and knowing the best way to mount the belts will be helpful. My concern is making sure they cannot pull lose from the anchor point.

So....think my top bar had a stripped/burred hole and I could NOT get a bolt in....stripped the bolt trying to get it in....had to go to the hardware store to get an identical bolt....think I got it....now I have to use a tap and die set to re-thread the bar hole and try to get this new bolt through. UGH!

mp51998 · 01-09-2014, 09:46 AM

Just take it slow and easy with the tap. Go in a little then back out. Will take several times but best to be sure. Good luck

mp51998 · 01-09-2014, 05:11 PM

I got the harness mounting figured out. No need to cut the tabs off. I do need to get two bolts that I can not get until tomorrow. I will have a DIY tomorrow by mid day

Worked out no problem......whole set up still wiggles a little bit...I think I need to push the top bar back further for TWO reasons:
-allow the seat belt to retract better on it's own
-to extend the angled bars further and hop to tighten up the whole set up to not have that slight "slack"

Good to know

Wish the tank plates weren't so expensive. For some reason, the Camaro tank plates are the most expensive.....about $200 more than the corvette tank plates
