Default Harness mounting help?

Hello

I recently purchased corbeau A4 seats and corbeau retractable belt and harness. If you aren't' familiar the two over shoulder harness strap's feed through the holes in the seat back and clip into the retractable mechanism. I need to mount the mechanism around 3 feet minimum behind the seat and could go as far as right to the far rear.

Any suggestions where to mount the mechanisms on a c5 vert?


Thanks

Best bet is probably for you to get a harnessbar. Several companies make them, just do a search for Hardbar, Sharkbar etc. etc.

your probably going to need to go into the frame rails through the tub with a long bolt and plates on the top and bottom of the frame
a harness bar will be right behind the seats way too close from your description

That could be the challenge.

with coupes or FRCs the harness bar is used.
for a vert and to have the shoulder harness work properly the waterfall tonal cover may have to be removed.

What will you use a 3 point retractable harness in a vert for? Is this a track only car?
