Hi guys, I'm sure this is well covered but some searches didn't help me.
I have racing seats installed (Cobra) and I want to install harnesses now. I was looking for a harness bar; there are pictures on the internet (Weltmeister, for example) but I could not find a way to buy one. The other option I've seen is footman loops or eyebolts through the firewall. Is it the consensus that is a safe mounting point? I'm not a hardcore racer, just autocross or occasional weekend track day, and canyon/driving runs. I don't really want to do a custom, welded solution at this time. Thoughts? Links? Thanks guys. |

You have to back up the eyebolts with extra metal.

Do you have rollover protection (rollbar or cage) in the car? There has been increasing discussion in recent years whether it makes sense to put in harnesses to hold you firmly upright in the unfortunate circumstance of a rollover. Especially in an open top or targa car like a 914.
