Hello,
just have a short question. Will a harness bar like this http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?show...;hl=Harness+bar fit in a 914 with fixed passenger side? Thanks and have a good time. Yeti |

Please read your competition seat belt install booklet. You will find that they DO NOT want you to mount/run your shoulder straps ABOVE your shoulders. They are not designed to mount like this.

below = spine compression in crash
i think you want 0 to 15 degrees up angle.... too much above your shoulders and they dont hold you in, in a rollover |

0 degrees - level with your shoulder...
15 degrees up is the max you should go... depends on which way you are looking at it.... sure.. 15* downward angle toward your shoulder.... |

Hi, I know about the problem with the shoulder straps. So what is the proper solution? My car is a street car, not a race one and I want it to look as stock as it is possible with the modification. So I eithe cut the passenger side headrest and install a harness bar or I leave it stock?
Thanks Yeti |

Drill holes for eye bolts in the firewall just below your shoulders towards the middle of your back and clip in a new set of comp belts.
Honestly, I dont know which is worse? Running around on 35yo stock seat belts or having your competition belts not work properly in a crash?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I mount mine below my shoulders like the instructions call for and I dont get too concerned about my passengers. B |

also....
when you drill the holes inthe firewall... you need to use the big washers.. AND they need to be mounted to bare metal.... not thru a soundpad etc.... designed for ZERO compliance..... metal to metal on both sides... cut soundpat/and backpad to fit OVER THEM... not sandwiched by them |
