Does anyone know where I can get individual harness bars similar what was used in the 914gt or do I need to fab these myself. see photo.

Thanks in Advance.

PM Eric_Shea. He's building one of the most accurate GT replicas I've seen.

Not willing to spend that much. I ended up making my own from U bolts. Thanks

Michael, nice job. They look great. Any pictures of the build process? What u-bolts did you start with? I was planning on doing a similar build but haven't researched starting points yet.

Thanks. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

HD Galvanized U-Bolts
Thread = 3/8 - 16
Dimensions 3 1/16" w X 2 1/2" L

This size worked perfectly. For the flanges I started with flange nuts. Drilled out the thread and ground down the top of the nut and welded in place. They would be much prettier if TIG welded.

The spacing on the fire wall is important. I spaced them the same width as the harness holes in the back of the race seat, which if I remember right is 20 to 25 cm. Just measure the race seats, this width is pretty standard.

I noticed on early GT cars there spacing looks wider than what is ideal for modern race seats.

I will add a picture of the backing plates if you want.

Regards

Did you have them plated afterward? They don't look galvanized anymore.

Yeah, a picture of your backing plates would be interesting. Don't go too far out of your way for it though. There's not a lot of room in there so I expect they kind of design themselves based on the available space.
