I used a harness bar because I was told the mounting point of the shoulder harness should be level with or above the height of the top of you shoulder. Are the shoulder harness cutouts on most racing seats located above the top of your shoulder usually? Cheers, Elliot |

I found the key to using a harness bar and keeping stock 3 point belts is to replace the ears on the end of the bar with longer ears (you will have to make these). This allows the stock belts to fit on the B pillar. I lowered the bar to just below the bottom of the rear window. I also am a firm believer in not attaching a harness belt to the harness bar. It is too easy to have the bar rotate if you do so and then have the unfortunate opportunity to stress the installation. I run the shoulder harness straps over the bar and then use huge washers (4"x4" SCCA type) to mount the end of the belts to the firewall. This way the bar is just about at the level of my shoulders. |
