Default How do people mount a BK harness bar in a C5 with race seats?

I reviewed the Brey Krause installation instructions and it shows installing the bar with stock seats and mounts. I have MTI rails and sparco seats that I am installing. I want to get the BK harness bar however I am having a difficult time seeing how to install the brace bar that connects to the outboard rear seat mount.

This seems to be a commonly used harness bar, how do folks install these with aftermarket seats? Don't want to drop $500 on something if it doesn't work.

Thanks!
Dan



Here is what the rear mount point looks like with the MTI rail

Installs the same as with the stock seat, you will just have to open up the hole on the bk leg a bit to fit over the larger stud on the seat bracket.

Ok, wasn't sure if there was enough material there for that since the MTI studs are so big.

Thank you

No problem, the hardbar kit is the same way. I had to open mine up as well, there was plenty of material left. Good luck and enjoy!

I did the same I drilled out the bk, I tried to do it with a cheap drill bit and drill pain in the butt. I also had the vetworks sub belt mount and used their stud extenders.
