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. |

The biggest concerns with harness bars are spinal compression fractures. If you have a an over-the-shoulder strap that goes "downward" behind the seat, and you do not have a lap belt that firmly keeps your butt down in the seat, then the harness can compress your shoulders, and thus your spine, in case of a rollover.
This is why in racing we do not allow the over-the-shoulder harnesses in a 5- or 6-point to angle down more than 20 degrees from horizontal, and lap belts shall be firmly snugged. |
