Finally scored a harness bar for the car and now need to find a decent 5 point harness. I definitely want the cam-lock style but don't know exactly what will work best.

Are there certain sizes models that fit our cars better than others?

I also want something I can attach to the bar rather than bolt to the firewall.

Another point to consider is if you plan on doing any PCA events in the future.

In 2008 it will be mandatory to have a race style seat that has slots for guiding the shoulder and sub belts. This is if you plan on using 5 or 6 point harnesses.

Stock seats will be required to be used only with stock (3pt ) belts.

So a modified stock seat is OK for this year, but next year you will need a race style seat to use with your 5 or 6 point harnesses.

So I wouldn't spend a lot of money modifying a stock seat....spend the money on the race seat.

Also remember with PCA DE rules the passenger and drivers restraint systems must be equal or better for the passenger seat.

in other words in the future you will need to have stock on both seats or race seat and harnesses on both seats.
