I picked up a set of new and never used 4 point harnesses from my brother along with some used Sparco seats. The harnesses have the bolt through attachment versus the wrap around the bar attachment for the shoulder straps. Due to concerns about spinal compression in the event of an accident, I don't really like the option of bolting through the firewall.
Is there a harness bar out there that has bolt on attachment for the belts? Alternatively, is there a special mount for connecting the bolt end to a harness bar? Thanks. |

Another option would be to use a harness bar as a "guide bar". Bolt the belts to the firewall, but pass them over the bar on the way to your shoulders. That's the way other, "lesser" cars (like those with their engines in the front or the rear) are set up.
