Default Harness bar

I'm looking into ways to attach a harness. I wil probably be fabing up a hraness bar similar to this idea.

How does this attach to the halo?

Check R-D Racing. I have their bar with a 5 point harness. The bar attaches to a couple of different points. One is where the stock belt loop point mounts and the other is under the cover for the targa top storage slot behind the seats on the wheel well.

The one from R-D installed pretty easily and you still retain pretty much all of the seat fore / aft travel.

+1 for R-D Racing Their harness bar is well made and very reasonably priced. Dave is a great guy to do business with and he's a CF Supporting Vendor too. In fact, he sponsors the C4 Tech section.

R-D makes the best and easiest to install.

As for the hardbar, it is installed the same as the rest, but due to a different design, it's harder to see how it is attached.

If I remember right, there are holes at the ends of the bar that screws go into where the seatbelt bolts go.

The hardbar is attached with socket head capscrews that mount to the original seatbelt mounting points. I really like my hardbar.

I have an Exotic Muscle harness bar and have been very pleased with it. It attaches the same way as the RD unit.
