Default Any home made camera mount hardbars?

I have a Chase Cams suction mount that I use on the street, but it's not allowed at any road courses and I've signed up for a few events this year already.

How did you guys install your track approved hardbar without damaging or modifying any of the interior?

uh, you don't. I dropped my tanks (fuel) and welded in pads for a bolt in roll bar. I think some of the z06 harness bars are pretty unintrusive though. Maybe they utilize the seat belt mounts.

I've had both a B-K bar and a Hardbar in my car and could go back to stock in 20min if I wanted to. Harness bars are just bolted in place. There have been some home made versions, but I've never thought they looked as nice and it's always good to know that other people have "tested" the production bars.

I use a B-K Bar with a home made camera mount. Photo/Videos come out very steady.



Made this out of a couple of Alum block I had in my tool box. About an hour or so worth of work on a mill and a little time on a lathe. Good luck.

hardbar is HardBar USA Gary Hoffmans company.

the harness bar, which we thing you mean, attachs to the shoulder harness mount on your B pillers.

a Special Torcz(SP?) head is needed. I think it is a Snap On 47mm

That looks great. I may try that as well. What is the diameter of the tubing on the K-bar?
