Default Brey Krause Harness Bar in C6?

Does the Brey Krause harness bar allow for full rearward (is that a word?) positioning of the seat?

I have the power adjustable seats in my C6 and the Brey-Krause harness bar does not restrict seat travel. The seat is back all the way when I get in then I move the seat forward to my driving position.



The floor mounted fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat does restrict forward travel of the passenger seat (but no one puts the seat that far forward anyway.

Yep... Brey-Krause harness bars work well for both C-5 & C-6's.
Takes different Brey-Krause models for these Corvette's.

The floor mounted fire extinguisher does limit passenger seat travel.

Default C5 BK will not fit a C6?

Sorry to be repetitive, I just want to be sure. I own a C5 Z06 now and later would like to upgrade to a C6Z. Does this mean that I have to get a different BK bar?

just want to point out that the anti-submarine straps should go through the bottom of the seat or back to the sides. The mounting locations should be even with or behind your crotch. They won't do anything to help you when they go over the front of the seat.

Yes the C5 bar is totally different to the C6 one...

Thanks
Probably better to to go to the Pfaadt roll bar (or something like that) for a C6 than to upgrade to the C6 BK bar.
