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!
