Check out the one from http://r-dracing.com/stframe1.htm.
Its the one I have (see sig pic). It can be bolted in or welded. I think it has to be welded for NHRA, and a five point. The web site does not show the fifth point, but I think Dave will have them available soon as a swing out.
From Dave: "Here's a quick summary of the S/T frame. It's constructed of 1.75 x .120 DOM tubing to meet all the latest guidelines. (No you can't store your roof and have a safe unit.) The design was patterned from the SCCA GCR book and should be a legal unit if it is welded in place. As shipped, we supply nutserts with a 14000lb pull out spec to attach it to the frame. As a bolt in unit, it can be removed and new carpet or the original carpet reinstalled and the Dealer will never know you had it in there."

BTW....I was checking out your website, nice Vette!!! That motor looks great!! :thumbs:

R-d Racing has great customer service!
Here is my original thread when I got mine, more pics: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=636509

Never gonna happen. You have to weld for it to be certified.

All major places sell a bar. DRM, EM and a few others.
