Harness bar VS Firewall, for harness installation..
Well I am now doing some contemplating, I am going to put some camlock black harnesses, one for the driver, and one for the passanger, in my car. Mainly because I just dont feel safe with the stock one's, and because I like the one's in my dads 951. My question, I have seen 914's at auto x's with harness's mounted to the car via harness bar, and via firewall. Is the firewall way safe? Is it a generally accepted idea? Also if I do go firewall, would I have to get rid of the backpad and put carpet in there? Or could I cut 2 holes per side in the backpad? Also Is using harnesses (I will be getting simpson camlocks hopefully) Illegal for the street? Thanks alot guys! |

I went through the firewall with all the necessary hardware supplied by Frey Racing.
They set me up with double bolts and thick large washers. Drilling the holes were very easy. While I like the carpet and wonder why I didn't think of it, I actually reinstalled the backpad with holes for straps to the eyebolts. I also have a welded in roll bar. I just cut holes in the backpad carefully (and removed some stuffing). I feed the straps through, loop the belt, and then get the pad in place. Even with a hybrid seat, the seat goes all the way back into the pad. Let me know if you want some picts. Good luck. |
